The Clever Witch 
​

In Fables of long ago, the story of The Clever Witch was well known, but only to the few that were aware, and afraid. She was famously successful in her Trickery of Luring Children into the Forest by pretending to be a Rabbit, thus earning their trust.


“Follow me now, my little Kiddies, let us walk quick, it’s easy to Flee-
down Pathways, past Hobbles, to hop over Gnomes,
through Thickets with Brambles, tromp Bridges of Stone.
No one will know where my Lair does Rest, but I will tell you, it’s surely the Best!”
