This book was initially done as a project for the course Childrens Literature whilst I was at college. Since I always loved delving into the world of the supernatural as a child, and still do as an adult, I decided to create a beautiful short story to encapsulate all the magic of the fairy tales from different parts of the world that I have ever read and seen on film. There is also mystery, fantasy, adventure, magic, and most of all, hope. I also included the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago, where I was born and reside.I have also always enjoyed reading about mysterious happenings taking place all over the world, along with mythical and mystical creatures that drive the imagination wild with wonder and adventure. This short story serves to envelop all these and more along with the beauty of familial connection and otherworldly adventures.Therefore, I have taken the world of supernatural fiction and the world of supernatural reality and created a fantasy short story that takes two siblings on a journey with a mysterious Witcxh into another world. A story that can be shared and enjoyed all over the globe, by both children and adults.
