Satchkin Patchkin chapter 7 'Bake Another Batch'

Written by Helen Morgan in 1966, this is the story of a little green magic man who lives ‘like a leaf’ in an apple tree.
The apple tree in question belongs to Mother Farthing who’s always at odds with her landlord, ‘a lean man, a mean man, a man without a smile’.
In true fairy story fashion, in spite of her dire straits, the old lady shows kindness to the little hobgoblin Satchkin Patchkin. And in return, over a series of short and satisfying tales, Satchkin Patchkin pays her back, by thwarting and foiling the rotten old landlord until, in the end, Mother Farthing is well-off and comfortable.
