A Bevy of Easter Witches and Their Cat
(for Jonathan)


The second story in the book tells what
happens when Tetbury Troll, the third
youngest Troll child, joins his sisters on
their annual Easter Witch expedition on
Palm Sunday. But being the kind of kid he
is (let's just say he doesn't have to go
looking for trouble; trouble looks for
him) well, things happen. Then the real
witches come out... Read about Tetbury's
adventure and find out if he learns
anything from his experience!

Below you can see a picture of some
Finnish Easter witches. They don't look
very scary, do they? What they do is like

trick-or-treating at Halloween. They give
people decorated pussy willow branches
to brighten up the house, and the people
give them a bit of money or candy, which
goes in the old-style coffee pot one of
the witches is carrying.
