What is Georges's marvellous medicine about?

George is left at home with his horrid, bad-tempered grandmother, who orders him about and frightens him with tales of witches. Determined to teach her a lesson, George creates a spectacular medicine from everything he can find around the house. When Grandma takes the bubbling mixture, its astonishing effects cause chaos throughout the farm. George experiments with the medicine on the animals, but his mischievous invention leads to consequences far stranger than he could ever have imagined.
