The liquid in the cauldron bubbled ominously and the windowpanes made a terrible noise caused by the wind. It was as if the witch was summoning evil spirits. The witch soon grew tired of throwing of stirring as you had to bend over it, since it was a very large cauldron. She screamed at Annabel. “Come stir this for me, girl! I am tired.” The witch planned to get ready for a trip to the castle. Annabel saw her chance to get rid of the witch and said, “I do not see how I am to do it. I am too small.” “What nonsense!

The collection of short stories “Ashputtle or The Mother’s Ghost: three versions of one story” has been taken from the book American Ghosts and Old World Wonders written by the Canadian feminist writer Angela Carter in 1987.

Telling stories is a perfectly honourable thing to do ... I do find imagery of fairytales very seductive and capable of innumerable interpretations” (Haffenden, 1985: 82). By making this statement, the writer clarifies her interest in retelling old fairytales using their plot to create a new story.
