Queen Dotty

Queen Dotty is a beloved neighbour in the woods. Charming, friendly, and so good at whipping up special treats in the castle’s echoing kitchen. Her alfresco parties are famous. Everyone wants to know the secret to her strawberry jam (she adds a touch of cinnamon, but don’t tell anyone).

She’s available separately or as part of the Grimblewoods Collection Volume 2.
