Summary

Down in Blackberry Bottom lives Miss Slade, a strange – and rather dirty – old lady. The village children think she's a witch. But Patsy and Jim like her and her six dogs, her donkey and other assorted animals. Miss Slade may not be a witch, but she's not what she seems.

Critic reviews

"This simple, sweet story teaches us that people are not always as they seem." (School Library Journal)
"The book is crisply and clearly read by British comic actress, June Witfield. She handles the voices well, from the cultured Miss Slade to the naive Jim." (School Library Journal)
