THE WITCH WHO WASN'T
Illustrated by Arnold Roth
Macmillan 1964
ISBN# Macmillan hardcover
ISBN# LC 64-20730 Macmillan paperback

A silly tale of a little witch named Isabel (not my mother, Isabelle who was never a witch) who cannot spell correctly. That is--her spells go all wonky. In the end she learns that being different makes the difference. Something kids still need to know! Roth's quirky, pun-filled illustrations seemed ahead of their time.
