"She did her neighbours' forms in wax And stuck them full of pins and tacks", October 23, 2014

This review is from: The Disrespectful Summons (Paperback)
The little tale - narrated in rhyming couplets - of the entirely respectable-looking Miss Squill (complete with straw boater and reticule) who one day is knocked over by the Devil himself.
Given a book called "Ninety-Two Entirely Evil Things To Do", and accompanied by what seems to be her own personal little demon (who sits on the table - rather reminiscent of a cat ) watching her, she starts making wax effigies of neighbours and more.
Till the demon "much too soon" returns...
Very humorous, wonderful illustrations and text. ( )
