Isabella Nagg and the pot of basil : a novel / Oliver Darkshire ; [illustrations by Sophie Grunnet].

Darkshire, Oliver, (author.). Grunnet, Sophie, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"In a tiny farm on the edge of the miserable village of East Grasby, Isabella Nagg is trying to get on with her tiny, miserable existence. Dividing her time between tolerating her feckless husband, caring for the farm's strange animals, cooking up "scrunge," and crooning over her treasured pot of basil, Isabella can't help but think that there might be something more to life. When Mr. Nagg returns home with a spell book purloined from the local wizard, she thinks: what harm could a little magic do?" -- Provided by publisher.
