The Witch's Children and the Queen is a children's picture book written by Ursula Jones, illustrated by Russell Ayto, and published by Orchard Children's Books in 2003. It won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, ages category 0âÂÂ5 years.
This is the second of three Witch's Children books created by Jones, perhaps better known as an actress, and Ayto.

There are editions in several other languages.
The Witch's Children Go to School (Orchard, November 2008) won the inaugural Roald Dahl Funny Prize, ages six and under.
