As a confirmed lover of witchy picture-books, I would like to read all three of the Devlins' stories about the doings of the Old Black Witch, but sadly, only this third entry in the series is available from my library system. An entertaining romp, complete with engaging characters (I liked Nicky and his mother, as well as the Old Witch herself), and humorous cartoon-style illustrations, Old Witch Rescues Halloween is a welcome addition to any Halloween shelf, or witchy collection. I enjoyed it enough to mourn the fact that the first entry in the series isn't more widely available...
Addendum: since writing the above review, the initial title in this picture-book series, Old Black Witch! has been reprinted by the Kentucky-based Purple House Press, which republishes vintage children's books that have gone out of print, but deserve another airing. ( )
