Jamie | 7 comments I borrowed this ~2016 from my primary school library and it wasn't old, probably published early 2000's.
It was a book or a series of books, which would have been short-ish. The covers were white with the title in black and a small drawing of one of the characters on the front. There were also black and white drawings in the books themselves.
The stories were pretty simple as far as I can remember. There was at least one story from the pov of a maid in a castle, who might have been the main character. She might have loved a prince or knight.
The things I remember the most was one character which was made of rocks- some sort of golem maybe. He wasn't very intelligent and I think he mostly just wandered around- I think the maid may have been his friend or looked after him. There was a house where these three witches lived, who wove this magical tapestry which maybe controlled fate? The house the witches lived in had a path out the front which could fly, and the path picked people up and took them to the witches' house sometimes.

Were these picture books or short novels for children?

Part of a school curriculum?

I did read them in Australia, yes. They would have been short novels for children or teens, but they weren't from the curriculum.

Yes, Yes, Yes! Thank you!
I don't know why I thought the covers must have been white but those drawing are very hard to forget- That's them! Thank you for helping me out! I'm going to go check them out again right away :D
