Mrs. Parsley: The Cat on the Mantle and Other Stories

"People who'd read Mrs. Parsley Makes a Delivery demanded more stories," author Julian Padowicz explains. Mrs. Parsley is a good witch. Only a tiny percentage of witches are actually evil, she says, but they, unfortunately, get most of the publicity. She, herself, uses her limited magical powers to help Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the various fairy godmothers, when they get overloaded. But, because her magical powers are limited, and she can't fly in and out through closed windows, turn pumpkins into coaches, or work her "smart phone," Mrs. Parsley is often forced to improvise. As reviews of the first book will attest, the resulting adventures are of interest and amusement to adults as well as children.Stories included in this collection:Mrs. Parsley Did ThisSnowballsMrs. Parsley Helps on Valentine's DayMrs. Parsley Talks to ZekeMrs. Parsley and the HunterMrs. Parsley Pulls a Code RedMrs. Parsley and Patti SchroederThe Cat on the MantleMrs. Parsley Attends Benny's Birthday PartyMrs. Parsley and the SquirrelMrs. Parsley Visits the BergsMrs. Parsley and the House Without DoorsMrs. Parsley Meets the Sandman
