Book excerpt: In the old market town of Chesterfield stood a magic cottage with an enchanted garden, here lived Wendela the good witch. Her medicines and potions had helped heal generations of locals; in nearly every home one of her good luck charms could be seen in a place of prominence.Then the corrupt, power hungry vicar, John Thorn comes to town and desires Wendela's land to build his church. When she refuses to give it up he sets out to destroy her, and convinces the townsfolk that she is evil and to blame for the Black Death that has killed half the population. Wendela is burned at the stake, but with her last breath she puts a curse on John Thorn and the land that he is now free to build his church upon.On the church opening day a bolt of lightning hits the spire making it crooked and twisted and sending souls to the dark side of the moon - instead of heaven - to be enslaved by moon wraiths. This continues for hundreds of years.One area of good magic remains, on the spot where Wendela's enchanted garden once grew. It's here in the present day that toys (used for a nursery and Sunday school) come to life. One is Todsy the mouse who learns of the curse and sets out to break it.'Spellbinding' - Derbyshire TimesFrom the author of If the Kids are Unitedwww.manutdbooks.com
