Known issues

Sometimes the haystack does not spawn above the well in the Stinky Swamp i.e. going into the well without the first grimoire will prevent you from progressing in the next level.

In the Creepy Castle, the third grimoire can be obtained multiple times. If you have trouble with the mini-boss, feel free to exploit this, however, the game was not designed around having the flight mechanic for that enemy.
