Mother Knows Best: A Tale of the Old Witch

The Disney VILLAINS series by Serena Valentino explores how the antagonists in Disney movies became some of storytelling’s most iconic villains. In the first five VILLAINS books, we see how the Evil Queen, the Beast, Ursula, Maleficent, and Mother Gothel fall into darkness, through the instigation of the mysterious Odd Sisters: Lucinda, Martha, and Ruby.

The tale of the legendary golden flower is widely known. The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the flower is coveted by an old witch to keep herself young and beautiful. And always the flower is used to save a dying queen, who then gives birth to a princess with magical hair. Not willing to lose the flower, the old witch steals the princess and locks her away in a high tower, raising her as her own. But the princess always finds out who she truly is and manages to defeat the old witch.

And yet this is only half the story. So what of the old witch, Mother Gothel? Where does she come from? And how does she come across the magical golden flower?

Here is one account that recounts a version of the story that has remained untold for centuries . . . until now. It is a tale of mothers and daughters, of youth and dark magic.

It is a tale of the old witch.

Gabby reading Mother Knows Best Disney book

When we received our complimentary copy of Mother Knows Best in the mail, Gabby and my mom both eagerly reached for it. They have both been reading the series together and compete over who gets to read each new book first.

Our family loves Disney and all the characters, even the villains. When we take a Disney cruise our favorite evening show is the Villain show. I love that these novels keep my teen entertained. Who says Disney is only for younger kids?

  31. Beast was my favorite Disney Villain. I think the “Beast” of Beauty and the Beast displayed perfectly why not to judge others from a limited base of knowledge. Can he even really be called a villain?
