Winnie at the Seaside

Author: Valerie ThomasIllustrator: Korky Paul

Winnie the Witch loves the sea (Wilbur does not), but like many of her previous enthusiasms, her plans fall short of perfect. The beach is simply plastered with holiday-makers, elbow to elbow, peopled with some of Korky Paul fans’ favourite characters – hunt for Professor Puffendorf eating a burger, and Captain Teachum with his telescope, along with a mixture of fanged sunbathers. Whilst disaster befalls Winnie in the water, what will really intrigue her fans is seeing Winnie in a swimsuit! Winnie the Witch fans must read this… and if there is anyone who does not yet know Winnie and Wilbur, this title will be an excellent introduction to a delightfully entertaining series.
