The Witch Family
Eleanor Estes, Edward Ardizzone
Hardcover (Harcourt, Brace & Co., Aug. 16, 1960)"Go, live on the glass hill forever, and never come back!" Thus did Amy and Clarissa, who loved to draw pictures of witches, banish the wicked Old Witch. Before long there was Little Witch Girl and then Weeny Witch, the baby, on the glass hill as well. Perhaps Old Witch did try to be good, but she never succeeded. And in no time at all, Amy and Clarissa were involved -- sometimes dangerously -- in her schemes and "hurly-burlies." Without Malachi, the magic bumblebee, to guard the girls, things would have turned out very differently. Once when Amy and Clarissa suddenly turned visible by mistake at Little Witch Girl's birthday party, Old Witch ignored the terms of her banishment and only Malachi was able to thwart her. And again, when she saw the rabbits -- her favorite food -- painting Easter eggs in the field below, she forgot everything else, and even Malachi couldn't quite stop her then. But Malachi did defeat Old Witch in a witch spelling bee (witches spell backwards, you know) though nobody -- except Amy -- thought he could. And when Halloween finally came, it was hard to tell who was the more surprised -- the witches or Amy!
