A powerful wizard finds himself taken for granted... A fancy hat goes on a strange journey - or does it? A new broom takes on a life of its own... A bullying billy goat gets a taste of his own medicine... Never outstaying their welcome, Mary Richards' enchanting stories are full of charm, simplicity and a touch of whimsical humour, aptly accompanied by the author's characterful illustrations.
