Little Witch Walker Stories

Join Little Witch and her friend Billy Wicked for three fun stories full of word plays, set in a magical land.

Little Witch’s favourite things are broom races with her best friend Billy Wicked and lemon-and-slime ice-cream with crunchy spider sprinkles. She would love to eat marshmallows for breakfast too, but she’s stuck with toadflakes. Little Witch doesn’t mean to get into mischief. Somehow though, she always does.

• A charming early reader with valuable themes of friendship, politeness, tolerance and magic
• Walker Stories support beginner readers making the transition from picture books in an engaging, entertaining and accessible way. Each title features three highly illustrated, individual short stories linked by one character, so readers can build familiarity and confidence.
