Little Witch (1953)

I loved this book when I was a kid and have been wondering what the name of it was. Someone just posted a note about it in a forum I frequent and I recognized the cover immediately. I used to wish that MY mother was an evil witch so that I wouldn't have to do the dishes either. ( )

I have looked for this book for a long time. My aunt loaned it to me when I was a kid and it became one of my favorites. A timeless classic! ( )

"Before you can say "Black Spell Brew," madame Snickasnee turns boys and girls into potted plants. Will Minx,her daughter be next- just because she wants to go to school? Or will Mrs. Sputter, president of the P.T.A. and Mr. Beanpot, the town's detective save the day?" ( )

Minikin Snickasnee - called Minx for short - was nine years old and wished with all her heart that she was not a witch's child. Minx didn't like riding around in the dark or cooking up horrid pots of Black Spell Brew. So one day Minx sneaked off to school.
