'You're not telling me how to look after a child,' snapped Nanny Ogg mildly. 'And me with fifteen of my own?' - Wyrd Sisters Jason and Shawn may be the only Ogg offspring who grow into real characters, but all fifteen of Nanny's sons and daughters are named in Wyrd Sisters. Page numbers refer to the 1996 reprint of the Corgi paperback, because that's the copy I've got. Although all the pages are falling out. ![]() Jason p7: 'I'm babysitting on Tuesday,' said the one with no hat but a thatch of white curls so thick she might have been wearing a helmet.
