It seems like magic. Walpurgis Night is approaching, a venerable witch tradition of utmost importance. High up on the Blocksberg, all the witches gather for the annual dance. Only the little witch is not allowed to come, at 127 years old she is still almost a child! Quite unfair, she thinks, no matter whether it's riding brooms or reciting spells – she can do everything at least as well as the grown-ups! Unfazed, she sneaks there anyway and is promptly caught by the head witch: If she is indeed grown up, she must prove it and become a good witch! And she has until the next Walpurgis Night for that, when the Witch Tribunal will decide her fate. Nothing easier than that, right?

"Good witches must not do anything evil!" - Abraxas


At least that's what her clever raven Abraxas says. He advises her to memorize the entire magic book. And to adhere to all (un)written rules. But sometimes certain situations require a creative solution approach; rules are there to be broken. And who actually came up with the idea that you can't do magic on Fridays? So, amidst buttermilk rain, ox rescues, and district forest ranger riding, the little witch must figure out for herself what makes a good witch.

The story of the little witch originated at Otfried Preußler's home. One night, his daughters couldn't fall asleep, afraid of evil witches. But he knows how to calm them down: Those witches don't even exist anymore! So there's no reason to be scared. But is that really true? To convince his children, he must become inventive.

The globally celebrated storyteller, as he liked to call himself, wrote over 20 children's books in his lifetime. "The Little Witch" alone has been translated into 46 languages. Much of what he wrote was first told to his students as a teacher and later put down on paper. His works have shaped the imagination of generations of children and are still indispensable in any children's room today.
