But the shop is struggling, thanks to the cheap clothing factory that has opened nearby.

What is going on? And can he unravel the mystery before it’s too late?

  • Explores the real magic of clothes as Hen, a spell tailor’s apprentice, struggles to master his family craft – and discovers a new kind of stitch in the process
  • A warm hug of a book – one to curl up with in your favourite old jumper!
