Without their mother, and away from anything familiar, they must take refuge among strangers. Reluctantly, Mr Evans, the grocer, takes them in, with his kind, timid sister, Aunt Lou. But the children find little comfort in his austere home.Their fellow evacuee, Albert, is luckier, living in a rambling old mansion with Hepzibah Green and Mister Johnny. Hepzibah is rumoured to be a witch, but the children feel safe in her warm kitchen and are spellbound by her stories. Just as Carrie and Nick begin to settle into their new life, something happens that tests their loyalties: will they be persuaded to betray their friends?ILLUSTRATED BY ALAN MARKSLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 218mmItem Length: 138mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 340gAuthor: Nina BawdenIllustrator: Alan MarksContributor: Alan Marks (Illustrated by), Michael Morpurgo (Introduction by)Genre: Children's BooksBook Series: Virago Modern ClassicsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
