It's a damp and dull day, but in the kitchen, it's warm and cosy. David and his mother are baking, and the delicious smells bring a greedy witch to their garden.

A mouth-watering tale of delicious cakes and wicked witches from New Zealand's most celebrated children's writer, Margaret Mahy, with gorgeous illustrations from award-winning artist Jessica Twohill.
