Witch stories for bedtime is a collection of stories where the witches are either bad of good. it's really just a fun book to read. this happened to the stories my brother read to me growing up. it's not say that all witch are bad nor are they saying that magic is bad. some are about witches that misuse there power and the children in the stories have to save themselves using the magic on hand. the book is 60 pages long and the art in it is done by Jane Launchbury.
