In four new stories, illustrated by Korky Paul, everyone's favourite witch shows a little bit of her wild side: solving crimes, making wishes come true, shearing sheep, or swinging from a jungle vine. Welcome to Winnie's world! Includes of course, her big black cat, Wilbur, and a zany supporting cast of new characters. Korky Paul's exuberant black line illustrations complement the humour, slapstick, and moments of real drama that run through each story. Pure magic!
A small number of children were lucky enough to be invited to read and review Mini Winnie which is the f
irst Winnie Young Fiction title. Here's a taster....'Each page of the book is crammed full of really cool jokes and Korky Paul’s illustrations are great, making me chuckle away for hours. It’s a fantastic book and I can’t wait to get hold of more of the series to see what Winnie gets up to.'....
