Daar was eendag... lank gelede, of miskien gister eers ... 'n legendariese berg. Niemand wat teen die berg uitgeklim het, was ooit weer soos voorheen nie. Gevolglik is almal in die land te bang om teen die berg uit te klim. Mense vermy dit selfs om naby die berg te kom. Ten spyte daarvan wil iemand opklim. Maar reeds aan die voet van die berg verwelkom 'n bordjie hom waarop geskryf staan: “Sien, as jy kan.” – Die man steek vas, maar gaan dan tog verder en begin om tree vir tree na die pad onder sy voete te kyk. Wat kan hy te wagte wees? Die Ruwe Berg is die gelykenis van ’n boekkunstenaar.

Die heks en haar kat vlieg gelukkig deur die lug op haar besemstok. Maar dan kom raap die wind die heks se hoed, toe haar strik en toe haar towerstaf op. In die soektog na hierdie toor-noodsaaklikhede ontmoet die heks en haar kat talle hulpvaardige diere wat saam op haar besemstok wil ry.

Maar is daar plek vir soveel diere op haar stok? En sal die nuwe vriende haar kan red wanneer gevaar dreig?
