Aprašymas

"Striking a nice balance between creepy happenings and gentle humour, the adventures of the Little Witches - involving a boy-ghost, a cat-boy, and a famous playwright - will appeal to fans of Diana Wynne Jones, Susan Cooper and Jill Murphy."
- Imogen Russell Williams

"I wish I'd read this back when I was a little witch-wannabee, trying to befriend every black cat I saw. "
- Frances Hardinge

The Little Witches stories are magical adventures intended for the 8-12 age-group but with appeal for readers of any age.

In the first story, Little Witches and the Trick-or-Treat-Trick, the heroines meet each other for the first time on Halloween. Dulcie's au pair is a fashion student who has dressed her up as a modern witch - "occult casual" she calls it. Verity has lost the battle with her sisters for first choice from the dressing up box and ended up with pirate boots and a witches hat and broom. While out trick-or-treating they accidentally annoy a mysterious old woman who casts a spell on them Dulcie and Verity gain magic powers for real. In Little Witches and the Wandering Shop they work together to find a way to reverse the spell.

There are three more Little Witches stories in this collection. Little Witches and the Family Ghost is a ghost story which takes place in Dulcie's grandfather's stately home. Little Witches and the Cat Burglar is a crime story in which they meet a strange black cat. Little Witches Back in Time is a time-travel adventure in which they meet Shakespeare.
