Apparently based upon a Welsh legend - the story of The Cat of Cwm Ffernol - this witchy picture-book makes for an engaging read, with an appealing story of magic and kind deeds, and quirky illustrations from the inimitable Quentin Blake. I'd love to learn more about the original legend that provided the inspiration for this story - I've never run across it in any of my collections of folklore - but leaving the dearth of source note aside (and, after all, this does not bill itself as a folktale retelling, but as an original story), The Witch's Cat is a pleasant read, and a welcome addition to my 'witchy-witches' project!
