Some stories seem to take forever to find their vibe. That was what happened with The Witch’s Bathmat. It tells of a cranky witch who has taken a set on her neighbours.
It turns out though that Hetty, the witch, is actually lonely and quite shy. Perhaps that’s why she took so long to write. I am very pleased to see her finally appear in print in May’s edition of Blast Off, illustrated by the mighty pen of Aśka.
