Originally published 1965, reprinted 2003
After years of searching both my memory for the title, and libraries and used book shops for a copy, I finally found this witchy little gem as a spanking-new reprint. If you have a little girl who likes to make mixtures and potions (all four of mine loved making "slop"), or likes to dress up as a witch, then this is the perfect Halloween story for her.
The little humbug witch just can't get her spells to work, her broom to fly, or poor Fred, the patiently resigned black cat, to turn into anything. Finally, she whips up some fabulous Magic Potion. Will it smoke? Will it explode ? Will it finally transform Fred..?
Find out in this engaging, whimsically illustrated Halloween classic. The story is worth it for the pictures alone.
Available new from Amazon from $4.95, and used from $2.51, although I have seen used copies as low as 1¢!
If you want to buy local, almost any bookstore will do a special order at no extra charge.
