What if modern tourism and marketing collided with a fantasy world? You might get something like this, where the witch of the title gets a wombat familiar because surverys show visitors like wombats That's just the first of the strangeness of this book. (The familiar, a former sneak-thief, is charmingly cowardly as well.) Amusing.

Dans le pays des fées, les habitants s'inquiètent, les hommes ne croient plus en eux et ne viennent plus les voir. Alors un troll de l'Administration a une idée géniale : ils vont faire venir de jeunes humains sous couvert d'un jeu de rôle informatique 3D très très réaliste.

As a whole, Witch and Wombat is almost worth recommending as a textbook example of how not to put together a story. Logically, a reviewer of Cushman's stature should be unusually sensitive to flaws in literary craft, but rather than avoiding such pitfalls, Cushman seems to have sought them out. The result is a puzzling book that ought to have been much better than it is.
