Nice take, perhaps one day the wardrobe will open up the secret world for her too!

Kids game or a witch who knows to make herself invisible to adults?
Great story, Vivian.

You render the kids’ voices with great authenticity – doubtless the result of many hours listening! I think we all smile with Mum at the conclusion.

Such a good story Vivian. I found the mother’s certainty that it was ‘just’ imagination and her triumph at the end very chilling. I’m with the kids! PS the journey to Narnia through the wardrobe from coats to wood and snow is one my favourite moments ever.

Oh, but children can see what we cannot. Perhaps the witch hoodwinked you to make herself unseen. Love the story.
