If you go down to the woods today.....

Well, Mandrake didn't stay long at Medlar House. We always thought he was a bit of a charlatan and that he would be off as soon as we rumbled him.

HOWEVER..... no sooner had he gone than a REAL wizard turned up.

He has the much more scary name of Wormwood. It seems to me that Mandrake was the sort of chap who is more Magician than Wizard, more at home on a well lit stage than deep in the wild forest. Well Wormwood is definitely an outdoor kind of Wizard. He wears a dull coloured robe so he can blend into the background in the deep dark wood. His tunic is embroidered with runes - no silly moons and stars on his clothes.

He was awarded ( apparently ) the Grand Prize of the Order of the Golden Oakleaf which he wears on his lapels, for services to Mousedom. He carries a golden globe which he tells me, revolves when there is danger nearby. This is why he has a dagger in his belt. You never quite know what you are going to meet in the Wild wood.

His large Magician's hat shields his beady black eyes from public gaze. His trusty staff is a magic wand which glows if Wormwood is in danger. Heavens knows what happens when he waves it about in the air!

One thing....I want to know what he keeps in those HUGE pockets? Tongue of Cat and tail of Ferret?

Shall I ask him?

No....you can...

According to the Ancient philosophers, the Wormwood plant counteracted the effects of poisoning by eating hemlock, toadstools and the biting of the Seadragon.
Scary stuff then!

Wormwood is a commission. If you would like a Medlar House Mouse like him, just ask.
