Illustration Friday ~ Double
“Well, well!” said an old woman, peering out with a crafty look. “And haven’t you children a sweet tooth?”
“Come in! Come in, you’ve nothing to fear!”
The witch was hoping for a double portion of meat for her “Children ala King,” but she would settle for a nice, juicy baked boy! Clever Gretel pushed the old witch into her very own oven!

Hehe, you should never go with strange old women, should you? This is wonderful Roberta. The cat and the mouse are an elegant touch. Nice to have something extra to discover – a subplot so to speak.
