Garlic and the Witch by Bree Paulsen invites readers into a whimsical world where vegetables come to life, sparking adventure at every turn. This standalone companion to the beloved Garlic and the Vampire continues the captivating journey of Garlic, a courageous little bulb navigating the wonders of friendship, magic, and self-discovery.
Join Garlic as she enjoys her idyllic days with Witch Agnes, the charming Count, and her friend Carrot. Despite the Count's vampire reputation, he has become an endearing neighbor in their vibrant vegetable village. However, adventure brews when Witch Agnes needs a special ingredient from the distant Magic Market to concoct a vegetarian blood substitute for the Count.
As Garlic embarks on this thrilling quest, she discovers an unexpected twist—her fingers are slowly transforming into human form. While Witch Agnes reassures her that this alteration is part of garden magic, Garlic grapples with accepting her evolving identity versus clinging to the comfort of her familiar self.
Garlic and the Witch is more than just a story; it's a magical exploration of self and the bonds that define us. This enchanting tale is a must-read for anyone who appreciates narratives that intertwine adventure and heartfelt themes.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
