The Blue-Nosed Witch

Before Halloween is over, I wanted to share with you my all-time favorite book that I read every Halloween. It used to be my mother's, then she gave it to me. It's called The Blue-Nosed Witch and it was written in 1956 by Margaret Embry. It's the story of Blanche, a little witch with a broom and a black cat named Brockett. Blanche is a special witch because she has a blue nose that blinks on and off.

It's a really spectacular book with fantastic B&W illustrations. It's very inexpensive (under $5) and you can always find a used copy on eBay or Amazon.
