The Witch’s Granddaughter and The Plight of the Plaque Maker

The Witch’s Granddaughter

and

The Plight of the Plaque Maker



This is the fourth book in the ‘Sam and Sarah and their Friends’ series. However like the previous volumes it can be read ‘on its own’ and it is not necessary to have read books 1 to 3.

Here we find that the quartet of friends begins to grow into a quintet, and beyond, so do their adventures as they now begin to explore the countryside around Bidford Manor and further afield. Other new characters also enter including their father’s older sister the mysterious, dread Aunt Daisy bringing a new perspective to the story, which takes place around the excitement of camping in the grounds of the Manor and nautical expeditions on the Manor’s pond.

In part one of the book we also meet the ‘Witch’s Granddaughter’ and part two concerns the ‘Plight of the Plaque Maker’.

The author started his working life as a surveyor, but at twenty-one decided to enter the world of education and was, for some thirty-six years a primary school teacher working in an independent  Steiner Waldorf Schools movement. He taught in UK, Australia, South Africa and Canada.
