Overview
The Dark Witch is a delightfully demented fairy tale In the time-honored tradition of the most famous fairy tales, this one is a bit scary.
The Dark Witch is a cauldron full of "witchful thinking" from Canadian author and illustrator Graeme Bennett. It's a delightfully demented fairy tale written for modern audiences, where the usual tropes don't apply. Instead, we meet a prince who ends up being a rather slimy character and a powerful princess who takes command of an entire army.
It all begins in a faraway forest near the Phishmoors of Tyrolea, where a dark witch named Ranthara makes a secret pact with a king....
