Griselda the witch has been drinking too much evil spirit. Boris her pet skull and the dim daft dwarves are fed up of being bullied by her. They decide to form a punk rock band and seek fame and fortune. But just before they leave for their first gig two of Griselda’s dead ancestors break out of their glass tanks beneath the ruined tower. Fifi Vicomtesse de Grunch is very keen on dancing. Her husband the Vicomte is not. When Griselda arrives at The Polhill Arms things do not work out as she expects, but unfortunately the evil spirit is still working inside her: it has not forgotten her ghastly plan of how to fill the larder.

1st Ramion collection. Fantasy adventures set in the magical land of Ramion and Kent village of Shoreham. Contains four stand-alone, fantastical stories. In The Land of Lost Hair the witch Griselda casts a spell to make the boys travel to her, but the slime of maggot is past its sell-by date and the boys (and their parents) only lose their hair. Snuggle (Dream Lord and super hero) takes the boys to the Land of Lost Hair, but Griselda follows, and sends giant combs, scissors and hair driers to get the boys (“Boy kebabs for tea!”). In The Vicar’s Chickens Snuggle’s weakness for the Vicar’s chickens drives the Vicar mad, but after Snuggle (trying to escape fireballs sent by the witch Griselda) accidentally takes the Vicar (along with the boys and the church) to the realm of Ramion the Vicar becomes a child again and learns how not to fear a thing (not even a witch). In The Crystal Key fighting to save the boys Snuggle falls with the witch Griselda into the magic cauldron and through the void to Ramion. Landing in a circle of witches he is imprisoned in a block of crystal in the hills where the mind controls. The boys seek the crystal key to set Snuggle free and save the Gardener, who is old and through his mind feels Snuggle’s pain deep inside. In Creatures of the Forest Griselda casts a spell to make the boys and rabbit Scrooey-Looey travel to her, but the dwarves in error magic away her supper. After escaping from the Lost Magic Office the boys are swallowed by a huge snake and spat out into a creepy forest where Globerous Ghosts, Mystic Mummies, Venomous Vampires, Scary Scots and Bilious Butterflies try to get them.

In the magical forest there are Globerous Ghosts, Venomous Vampires, Scary Scots and Mystic Mummies, who (like other mummies) cannot stand boys who pick their noses. The boys are in constant danger of being turned into ghostly globs, piles of dust or being exploded by very loud bagpipe music. Thankfully, Ducky Rocky is there to help them as are Racing Racoons and the incredibly brave Hero Hedgehogs.

The struggle between good and evil is taken up by the Vicar and the nasty witch Griselda. When the witch Griselda sends fireballs on the garden of The Old Vicarage, Snuggle (by mistake) magics not only the boys but the church and Vicar to the Land of Ramion. The Vicar becomes a child again, learns not to fear a thing, and dancing up to the witch calls her "Auntie Griselda" and (while she is in a state of shock) takes her magic staff with surprising consequences.
