Clover Twig – clever, neat, responsible, is still in the employ of Mrs Eckles, chaotic, cantankerous, and a witch. One day, Granny Dismal, a witch from the neighbouring village, warns them that the Perilous Path has been seen in the woods. As its name indicates, it leads nowhere good, and also has a habit of sneaking up on you. And then little Herby, Clover’s baby brother, goes missing ?

A very funny witch-filled romp, featuring Clover, Mrs Eckles and the return of Mrs Eckles’s wicked revenge-driven witch sister, Mesmeranza ?
