'A witty picture book for clever, fearless children' - The Sunday Times
Naughty little Hansel and Gretel ransack Willow the good witch's gingerbread cottage and play havoc with her spells, driving the poor witch to her wit's end with magical mischief and mayhem. They gobble all her yummy food, smash her potion bottles and even conjure the cat to the size of a house! Can Willow ever put a stop to the chaos?

Mischievous Hansel and Gretel turn the good witch's house upside down in this reimagining of the classic fairy tale.
