It''s a rainy spring-time, coming up to Witch Baby Daisy''s second birthday. Her nursery class are putting on a musical performance, helped by the older children, including big sister Lily. Meanwhile Mum is trying to potty train Daisy, unaware that as soon as she succeeds, Daisy will be reclaimed by the witches who live on the hill, who''ve only been waiting for their little protegee to be out of nappies before they take her ''home''. Happily, Daisy is so rubbish at toilet training that Lily persuades Mum to drop the idea, and the day is saved!

So far, so StregaSchloss, but add in an arrest for murder, a demon intent on revenge and a suicidal deep-frozen ancestor and you have a recipe that could only be cooked up in a Gliori-cauldron.
