I would have read this book as a child in the nineties...

It involved a witch named Thomasina, I think she lived on a island and I think there were sweets involved in the storyline (but not 100% sure).

I'd love to find a copy (I'm feeling quite nostalgic) but I know I've not provided much info to work with!

Witch stories?

There is one story (written by Elizabeth Waugh) about the good and kindly Thomasina and her magical island where everything is made of some type of confectionary- from seashells made of bubblegum, to toffee trees and streams of lemonade.

If you identify the title Abe Books is usually has most things available to buy.

Yes! This is it, I recognise the synopsis and the illustrations. Thank you!

I'm going to order a copy now 😁
