Diary of a Wicked Witch: Discover your favourite fairytales from a WICKED point of view

Once upon a time was only the start . . . welcome to the Fairytale Woods. The wicked witch is on trial in a hilarious secret diary from million-copy bestselling author, comedian and actor Ben Miller.

The wicked witch has gone one cackle too far and is faced with a choice: a four week wickedness management class, or a lifetime in jail.

Spending all her time with stuck-up witches and her ex-best friend, now a total goody two-shoes, leading the course isn’t Wendoline’s idea of a good time, but she’ll do anything it takes to get her powers back. Even with a pompous king and queen to impress, a smarmy Prince Charming to prove wrong, and her own daughter, Rapunzel, to win over, Wendoline is not buying into the whole using magic for good thing, not when being WICKED is just so much FUN. There's potions, curses, and a whole heap of trouble to miss out on . . . with 100% wickedness guaranteed, what could possibly go wrong?

Come down to the Fairytale Woods and discover what your favourite characters are really thinking in the bestselling series from Ben Miller, illustrated by Elisa Paganelli. Diary of a Big Bad Wolf and Diary of a Puss in Boots available now.
