Produktbeschreibung
In which a witch bewitched the hatter's daughter -- and then some. . . . Sophie lived in the town of Market Chipping, which was in Ingary, a land in which anything could happen, and often did -- especially when the Witch of the Waste got her dander up. Which was often.

In seinem fliegenden Schloss hat sie alle Hände voll damit zu tun, 1. den Feuerdämon Calcifer bei Laune zu halten, 2. dem Lehrling Michael bei dessen kläglichen Zaubereiversuchen zu helfen und 3. Howl daran zu hindern, ihrer Schwester Lettie das Herz zu brechen. Dabei wollte sie doch eigentlich nur ihre eigene Gestalt zurückerlangen...
