The Wicked Witch of The West
Ch.12
- The Search for the Wicked Witch of the West
starting with ' The Solider with the Green Whiskers led them through…'
This dark and atmospheric chapter is the perfect treat for a Halloween listen
where the Guardian of the Gates lead Dorothy and her friends through from to the Emerald City to embark on the most scary part of her quest yet, facing the Wicked Witch of the West.
'Which road leads to the Wicked Witch of the West'? asks Dorothy
bringing this character to the forefront as a the threat she is to Dorothy, The Wicked Witch could make her one of her slaves like the Weird Winkies.
It is Dorothy and her with the help of her friends The Tin Woodman
The Lion and The Scarecrow who must help Dorothy defeat The The Wicked Witch of the West who is angry and not easily defeated.
And Winged forced of the Winged Monky's who she uses against them
fro her castle where she looks out with her one eyes powerful as a telescope, am it n exiting and scary chapter for Halloween.
The character of the Wicked Witch of the West make her the perfect scary Halloween character and like a real with with her spells she draws on her left foot foot:
'Ep-pe, Pep-pe-Kak-Ke'
On her right foot:
'Hil-lo, hol-lo, hello'
and
'Zizzy Zuzz-zy, Zik'
She is an interesting character as even though she is a witch we do like her and she certainly doesn't like to be defeated. Her desire for Dorothy's Silver shoes but Dorothy who sees her for the 'wicked creature she really is, gives her just desserts in the end
and she is defeated, a triumph of her joinery in the nOvel to reach the great Wizard of OZ. And Dorothy prevents her from steeling her magic Silver Shoes
This chapter I read aloud when I played the role of The Wicked Witch of The West for the Puffin World Book Day Launch.
