Mildred Hubble is a trainee witch at Miss Cackle's Academy and tends to make a mess of it. She can't master the art of riding a broomstick and her spells have a way of going disasterously wrong. Jill Murphy studied at Camberwell Art School and is the author of "Peace at Last" and "Five Minutes Peace". The "Worst Witch" stories reached a large new audience through the 1986 screening of a Hallowe'en film starring Diana Rigg and Tim Curry.

About the Author:
Jill Murphy was born in London in 1949. From a very early age she was drawing and writing stories, and was already putting books together (literally, with a stapler) by the time she was six. She went on to study at Chelsea, Croydon and Camberwell Schools of Art. Jill worked in a children's home for four years and as a nanny for a year, before becoming a freelance writer and illustrator. The Worst Witch stories are some of Puffin's most successful titles.
