About the Author

Hannibal Hills has been a performer from the beginning. At school, he trained in acting and theater arts at Southampton College, and also received a diploma in television. Although he performed in many stage plays (by Lorca, Brecht, Stoppard, Pinter, and, of course, Shakespeare), he also helped produce original works, and soon found himself mostly in the directing role. More recently, in March of 2020, he won the Best Newcomer award (no small feat for this middle-aged guy!) as part of his regional media's annual theater awards. In March of 2021, he was thrilled to receive three Independent Audiobook Award nominations. Hannibal was also a top wedding and memorial celebrant, before he could no longer fight the urge to leap into audiobook performance. It's a supreme pleasure for Hannibal to bring good writing off the page and into the minds and hearts of listeners. As a professional narrator, he devotes himself to understanding a text, and giving a book life with his voice-in a way that creates true entertainment, enlightenment, or merely an escape. Hannibal's vocal style is warm, clear, and sophisticated, with a depth of emotion from connecting with each project he takes on. Although he specializes in dramatic fiction, especially involving complex plots and highly charged emotion, his nonfiction is performed in a way that brings the truth of the text to both the heart and mind of the reader.

Hi, Vee James here. Excited to announce my first foray into Junior Fiction, "The Witch's Cookbook." Me? I love writing fantasy, particularly fantasy comedy. Naturally some of my favorite authors are Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Christopher Moore. 2019: Other comedies include "The Little Ship of Horrors" and my "Chronicles of Neccabashar" series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Middle-Grade Fantasy Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021

Vee James introduces young middle-grade readers to the world of fantasy adventure in The Witch's Cookbook. I loved how many lessons the author incorporated into this approximately 200-page book. Most importantly, I appreciated how the book emphasized the value of acting brave even when you don't feel brave. There are so many challenges and changes youngsters face while growing up that they could use a little bravery to overcome. Tardnattle deftly applied the lessons his elders taught him in an easy-to-relate-to manner that young readers will find encouraging and inspiring.

I also loved how the book focused on highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that different people have. The book featured the Wee Folk, Fairies and Saghms; Big Ones, the Faerie name for humans; and, of course, the Witch. The different sizes, shapes, and species displayed the particular strength needed to overcome the current challenge at various points. My favorite scenes were the ones where two characters combined their talents and worked together. This theme would be valuable for school-age children and even siblings who must learn to work with bigger or smaller kids, who each have different personalities, strengths, beliefs, and values.

This well-edited book was engaging and provided age-appropriate action and adventure. I noticed a few redundancies in the narrative as an adult reader, but I don't think the repeated information will distract younger readers.

I'd recommend this story to advanced young readers ready to read longer chapter books. There are colorful illustrations at the beginning of each chapter that will appeal to kids and adults alike, so adult readers may want to read along with their children. There was very little violence and no gore. The delightful characters and clever storytelling make The Witch's Cookbook an excellent introduction to the fantasy genre for young readers!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Sweet Story
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021
You will be drawn in to this book by its charming illustrations. "The Witch's Cookbook" is a book suitable for middle-to-upper elementary kids who love imaginary stories. Featuring all kinds of magical creatures, and one brave human child, this faerie tale leads kids through adventures and scary scenarios all tempered with friendship and nice life lessons. Lots of silly scenes, delightfully weird recipes, and a goofy recurring shoe gag will make the reader smile. The overall pacing of the book could be more efficient, but I like the potential for conversations around the themes of right versus wrong and how to deal with making mistakes. This is a nice book with a clever premise.

I really enjoyed this little faerie tale. It had everything that you would expect, a quest, some villains to face, magic lands, and an delightfully little mismatched group of friends. I was interested from the beginning, and it made a great little bedtime story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything a Faerie Tale should have and lots more!
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2022
Tardnattle, a Sgahm (better known as Wee Folk), and a Little-Big-One (Human boy) meet up and together they try to return a witch's cookbook. However, this cookbook is unique as it talks, teaches, and it is a bit too clever! Tardnattle finds himself in the middle of a huge mess as he tries to decide who the evil person is here … the witch or the cookbook!

The author, Vee James has skillfully woven together a delightful tale of adventure and the magical world of Faerie. Each character is delightfully developed and given traits that connect them to the listener. Including the evil cookbook! I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the plot twists. There were one or two that surprised me! I found his characters to be thoughtful and would be an inspiration for those children needing a little guidance. The message of the book of doing right was well blended into the story.

The narrator, Hannibal Hills delivers a truly captivating performance! His voices for each character were unique and suited their personality and character to a T. His delivery of each word was clear, smooth, and flawless! His pace was well-timed. I have to say Hills has become a favorite of mine after this book!

I highly recommend this book as it is fun, light, and carries a message about doing the right thing. An awesome book for all ages!

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your kids will love it
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021
In the magical land of Faerie, inhabited by people as well as magical creatures, everyone pulls together to save each other.

The plot turns on the discovery of a magical cookbook by the main character, a hobbit-like fellow, which is inhabited by the spirit of a wizard. Only a certain recipe can set him free. But when one good deed leads to mayhem, everyone has to pull together and use their unique talents--like wrapping presents--to save the day.

Beautifully illustrated and utterly charming. Put it on the holiday gift list ASAP for grades 3-5.

Are you missing those classic fantasy toons we used to watch in comics? Back with those moments where you will get a chance to experience your one's salad days.

This is the rare children's book to snatch your attention. It's a compelling story with a magical world, fantasy fiction, thriller, and adventure. Watch your kids getting addicted to this chucklesome book.

This novel is a package of entertainment & revokes the children's fantasy to engage throughout the reading session. My nephew enjoyed it while I narrated the complete story. I saw a decent positive impression & excitement to know what is coming up next! It brought back the sleeping child in me as well, and I am pretty sure you will experience the same thing.

Even I enjoyed it as much as he did. Coming to the ground, it's a great book for the people who love to read along with animations, doodles, and can fantasize about them. I liked how wonderful the characters are portrayed, and I would love to watch a cartoon show based on Veejames imaginations.

Spotlight goes to young tardnattle, a young Sgahm/ native creature with overloaded charm. He is extraordinary, loves to cook, roam around, giggles, and spend time along with his friends in the woods.

Well, it's not a great idea to have a cooking book that belongs to a terrifying witch. She is nasty, hunter, and the main element of the entire read. Enjoy this venture & help our tardnattle to return this cookbook, joining in the midway are vigilant creatures keeping everyone engaged. I would like to address this book as a plethora of amusement.

There are days when we all wonder- how fast we all grew. Remembering all those little memories of our childhood awake an urge to be a child again. Living the days with no fear and tension. Everyone is your friend and you love the world as it is. This book took me back in those days. Every page I turned showed me flashbacks of each adventure I did with my friends.

The Witch’s Cookbook: A Faerie Tale takes us to the land of faerie and introduces us to the creatures living there. We meet the cute little denizens of the place, they are called Sgahm. They are happy creatures who like bright mornings, songs, butterflies, stars, and takes delight in cooking and long walks.

In this book, we follow the story of Tardnattle. He is an honest little Sgahm. Tardnattle finds a great old book while his encounter with the witch in the jungle. Poor little Tardnattle got too scared to see the witch for the first. But he decides to return the book to the witch despite his fear and various troubles. The story brings so many lovely instances that will make you laugh and wonder.

The author, Vee James, has done great justice to this book using his alluring writing and story-telling skills. It is an absolutely alluring fairytale that no kid should miss. A perfect book to gift to the young wonders of your family. They will definitely love reading this and you too can read it whenever you miss being a kid (wink).
