Winnie makes friends with witches from all over the world!
Since creating her characters Winnie and Wilbur in 1987, Valerie
Thomas has taken them on all kinds of adventures: on a broomstick
and a flying carpet, with a baby dragon and a big bad robot, in a
haunted house and aboard a pirate ship, under the sea and even into
outer space! Valerie, who lives in Australia, doesn't own a
broomstick herself, but she has travelled to most parts of the
world. Born in Zimbabwe, Korky Paul is a well-known illustrator.
His drawings
appear in more than fifty Winnie and Wilbur books, as well as many
other titles. Known only to himself as 'the world's greatest
portrait artist', Korky regularly visits schools and appears at
festivals to
promote his passion for drawing. He lives in Oxford with his wife
where he regularly cooks on the 'braai'.
*** FCBG PICK OF THE YEAR FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN 2023 *** "A complete
joy."
*Federation of Children's Book Groups (FCBG)*
"Thomas's joyful, exuberant and warm-hearted story is a true
celebration of all that is good in a world where community and
friendship come first while Paul's richly detailed and playful
artwork is full of fun, mischief and mayhem. A cracking chaotic
caper that's guaranteed to cast a spell!"
*Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Post*
