Excerpt

You know what the great thing about teaching is? You meet so many interesting people. Just last week I met a lady called Lucretia. She’s really old and wears a long black dress and a pointed black hat. And she lives in a cave.
A cave can get quite cold, especially in the evening, so Lucretia keeps a fire burning all the time. The fire is also useful for heating up a big metal pot called a cauldron.
