A happy Halloween for any child about to be introduced to Amy and Clarissa and The Witch Family. Illustrated by Edward Ardizzone, this could well become a classic in the little girls' library, read and re-read for its piquant humor, its fluent imagination, and distinctive charm. Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill.as Amy and Clarissa find out when Old Witch magics them into her world, a world of make-believe made real. There is also a buzzing spelling bee, and a mermaid, who despite her fondness for Little Witch, cannot manage to climb the glass hill to which the girls have consigned the witches. Buy a cheap copy of The Witch Family book by Eleanor Estes. There is Wicked Witch, much too fond of devouring mermaids, Little Witch, who is lonely, and Baby Witch who must be looked after. The witches, in this case, present problems. But unlike other girls, they are conversant with a whole family of witches, whom they conjure up by means of an adroit crayon. They go to school, enjoy swinging and popsicles, and endure with bravery, unpleasant things like polio shots.
