This series has been enchanting for 35 years: children aged 4 and over and even beginner readers are enchanted by the many funny details of the turbulent stories about the lively sorceress and her good-natured cat. Zilly's world is wild and colourful, but it hasn't always been that way. The first volume tells the story of how the sorceress lets colour into her life so that her black tomcat Zingaro can stay the way he is. This classic is being published in a small format to mark the anniversary.
