The Frightful Witch

Jonna Björnstjerna

Being brave is easier said than done…

Lillebror Rabbit is visiting his lovely grandmother. Everything should be fine, but somehow he gets lost in the forest again. Luckily he meets the kind Delightful Witch, who invites him back to her house to rest his tired paws. But beneath the sweet surface of the Delightful Witch a completely different person is hiding: The Frightful Witch!

The Frightful Witch just hates everything that is nice and cute, like Lillebror Rabbit. Now what’s he going to do?

The first book about the Rabbit Family, The Monster in the Forest, was voted best book of the year in 2007 for children aged 6 and under by the Book Jury, where children themselves vote for their favourites. And adults liked it too:
“Both the pictures and the way the language is used are evidence of a genuine talent.”
Aftonbladet
“[…] a spine-tingling, wonderfully tense thriller for pre-school children.”
Vi Föräldrar
