Children Fiction

Winnie decides she needs a seaside break, so she and Wilbur zoom off to the coast. Winnie makes a beeline for the sea to cool down. Wilbur makes a beeline for anywhere other than the sea - he hates water, and can't bear getting wet. To avoid all the other, numerous, holiday-makers, Winnie puts down her towel, and sets up her beach umbrella, further down than the beach than anyone else - and clearly below the tide line. The tide gradually starts coming in, and when the waves swoosh over Winnie's belongings and carry away her broomstick, she attempts a spell to get it back. It doesn't really go according to plan and inevitably it's poor Wilbur who gets the worst of things...
