A funny illustrated fairy tale for early readers about the brave and capable Dulcinea, who must save her father from the witch's spell and get him home to celebrate her birthday. Dulcinea has known since she was small not to enter the dangerous magic forest where the witch has her castle. But her father hasn't come home from collecting blueberries for her birthday pancakes. Did the witch cast a spell on him? Dulcinea must brave the dark forest and sneak into the witch's castle to steal the spell book and free him. Her father would hardly have named her after the brave Dulcinea if she couldn't break a witch's spell to celebrate her birthday with him! This is a funny fairy tale for children starting on independent reading, with warm and characterful illustrations and a witty story.
