Everyone in the village where Lizzie lives thinks that she's a dreamer - so it's no wonder that they don't believe her when she says she's seen a witch.

But Lizzie doesn't care because she knows it's true and having a witch as a friend makes life much more exciting.

Having been the subject of a major television series, Lizzie Dripping is now a household name.

Helen Cresswell is a well-known writer and has written more than forty books.
