I love witches. I’m pretty sure I always have. I love the magic, I love the mystery, and perhaps most of all, I love the flying. I will read any book about a witch, I enjoy the funny ones, the scary ones, the silly ones, stories about magical witches, and non-magical witches, etc. When I was young, I read The Worst Witch about a young witch at boarding school, and was so disappointed when my mother told me there wasn’t such a school, so I couldn’t attend. Oh well, if I can’t join them, I guess I’ll just keep reading about them. Here’s a few titles of suggested reading for you:
- The Widow’s Broom by Chris Van Allsburg
- The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy
- The Witches by Roald Dahl
- The Witch’s Sister by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
- The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
- The Magic Circle by Donna Jo Napoli
If you want a more immediate witch fix, may I humbly suggest two cinematic favorites which are sure to please:
Well, Kate must be a witch also, or at least have your tendencies, because she is going crazy over that cat, broom, hat image.
