I am going to read more Worst Witch books because I want to know what happens to Mildred and her friends.Jill Murphy The Worst Witch Series 8 Books Collection Set includes titles in this collection :- The Worst Witch, Saves the Day, to the Rescue, Strikes Again, All at Sea, A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch,The Wishing Star, Fun with the worst witch.

The book also has lots of pictures which is good because you can see what everyone looks like. It looks really nice on my bookshelf because it is sparkly. I love the colourful cover as it is silver and has witchy colours. The most exciting bit of the the book is when they do the Halloween celebrations because I knew something was going to happen but I didn’t know what. I think my friends would like reading it because it is exciting and you can learn things about witches, like chanting and spells. The stories in the book are funny and lovely. I also love Miss Cackle the Headmistress because she is kind and clever. I love Mildred, but I want to be her friend Maud as she does lots of things right. She crashes her broomstick, makes her potions all wrong and can’t make her kitten balance on her broomstick. Mildred doesn’t mean to do it but she always does things wrong. She is worst witch in her school but it isn’t her fault. Mildred Hubble chews on her plaits, wears her hat back to front and her shoe laces trail on the floor. She now lives in Cornwall with her son Charlie. The Large Family stories are Jill’s other best known stories, picture books telling of the domestic chaos of a family of elephants. Mildred Hubble has gone on to several more adventures, most recently The Worst Witch and the Wishing Star, and even her own TV show. Jill became a freelance author and illustrator and many more wonderful books followed. When Jill was twenty four, The Worst Witch was finally published, and was an instant best-seller. Three big London publishers turned it down so Jill put it in a drawer and went off to work in a children’s home and as a nanny. At only eighteen she finished her first novel, The Worst Witch, which was based heavily on her own experiences at the convent school. Jill went to a strict convent, and left at sixteen to attend both Chelsea and Croydon art schools. “My earliest memory (my mum tells me I was two), is sitting on the kitchen floor surrounded by sheets of drawings.” By the age of six she was stapling her own little storybooks together. From a very early age she was drawing and writing stories.
