The Enchanted Castle 8 – Burn The Witch!

The eighth episode in “The Enchanted Castle” ushers our three friends into a small and peaceful village, where people are kind, positive, and hard-working. God-fearing as well. That is why when Dorothy, an old and innocent woman, is accused of witchcraft, the whole village figuratively goes into flames. The three girls has to find a way to help Dorothy or else she will burn at the stake. Their bravery and ingenuity are once again put to a test so that justice can prevail. A haunting and pretty moralizing story that reflects upon some problematic social issues, “Burn the Witch!” is a fanciful read for all fans.
