The Prince and the Witch by Marianne Hesse

by Marianne Hesse

In The Prince and the Witch, a young prince is set to inherit the throne but he doesn’t care a fig about having the whole kingdom at his disposal. He’d rather sing a salty tune, or swing a rat, or mock a loon, and gallivant around.
When he decides to pull rank on a witch to get what he wants, he discovers that not everyone who tangles with the crone ends up stewing in their own juices, but, in this instance, he may not be so lucky.
