The drawer was locked years ago when Katy’s Aunt Martha left some valuables there. In What the Witch Left, Katy and Louse find a key which opens the forbidden bottom drawer of a dresser. They’re starting with two favorites: What the Witch Leftand No Such Thing as a Witch. So I was extremely happy to hear that Random House is bringing back all her books, releasing two to three each season until her whole catalog is out again.

Not many survived, since they were mostly paperbacks, and the paper quality wasn’t the best. Her books have been out of print for a couple decades, and have been sought by the kids who read them since them. What happens over the course of that year will change Felina, Lucinda and the Doons forever.Īnd then there’s Ruth Chew, an author I adored when I was in elementary school. But an untamed little witch does not make for a good house guest! Soon the Doons are helping Felina with everything from brushing her hair to learning not to curse…in the spell-casting kind of way. Lucinda manages to convince the little witch to come in and meet her parents, When Felina tells them that she cannot return to her witch world until the next Halloween, the Doons decide to give her and her cat Ichabody a home. Felina is a little witch who broke her broom on Halloween night, which left her stranded in a tree outside Lucinda Doon’s window. The Little Leftover Witch, by Florence Laughlin is another charming tale, back in print after over 40 years. It’s wonderful that after thirty years, it’s back! Little Witch is consistently one of the top books on the “most in demand” annual list of out of print books. Of course, when friendship leads to testing out her mother’s potions, things get dangerous…fast! Any reader who loves The Rainbow Fairies will enjoy this tale of Minikin Snickasnee, the daughter of a witch who wants only to make some friends. Little Witch, by Anna Elizabeth Bennett was featured as an Old Favorite in this blog way back in our very first year! The book has now come out with a 60th anniversary edition, and it has lost none of it’s charm in all those years. Witches seem to be making a comeback in Children’s books this fall! Two old favorite titles and one author have all come back into print…after a couple decades of only being able to find them by scouring library book sales, family yard sales and used book stores.
