“Once upon a time there was a little witch who was only a hundred and twenty-seven years old”—that’s how the story of the little witch and her talking raven Abraxas begins, and though one hundred and twenty-seven isn’t at all old for a witch, Little Witch already has a big problem. Every year, on Walpurgis Night, all the witches of the land meet to dance on Brocken Mountain. Little Witch is still too little to be invited, but this year she decided to sneak in anyway—and got caught by her evil aunt Rumpumpel! Little Witch is in disgrace. Her broomstick has been burned. She’s been made to walk home. She’s been told that she has a year to pull off some seriously good witchcraft if she wants to be invited to Walpurgis Night ever. And then there’s an even bigger problem: What after all does it mean to be a good witch? One way or another, by the end of the story, Little Witch will have proved herself to be the biggest and best witch of all.

Review
"First published in 1957, this story of a young witch who’s itching to become part of the grown-up witch world has a sprightly tone and a feel that’s somewhere between fairy tale and Harry Potter. That’s a sweet spot for magic-loving children just beginning to read on their own, and you don’t see many books hit it this well. (It would be a fantastic read-aloud, too.)…There’s a morally satisfying fairy-tale ending — a glorious moment of table-turning that speaks to our pent-up frustration at the arbitrary rules of the universe that put mean people in charge. The illustrations — charming, scratchy black-and-white line drawings by Winnie Gebhardt-Gayler — seem like they could have been done yesterday.” —Maria Russo, The New York Times Book Review
"All children who tremble at the thought of witches - allay your fears! - For as of Walpurgis Night last, the bad witches have been rendered powerless and only one good little witch remains. How this came to be is the content of a delightful book to be read in episodes or at one happy sitting...How the little witch casts her most powerful spell will leave readers thoroughly satisfied and young bedtime listeners ready for only pleasant dreams.” —Kirkus Reviews
"Mr. Preussler's books were read aloud to generations of German children. They adored his characters."--Douglas Martin, The New York Times
"Elements of folklore in Preussler's books are intertwined with conversations, funny dialogue, discussions of old and young, and angry disputes that are rooted in the everyday life of families and school. Preussler revealed...that he possessed an almost inexhaustible fantasy, an unfailing sense of humor and situation comedy. German children between the ages of four and twelve are still his fans."--Horst Kunneman, Bookbird
Praise for Otfried Preussler's Krabat and the Sorcerer's Mill:
"One of my favorite books." --Neil Gaiman
"In Preussler's masterpiece, the terror is real, the love sweet, and the suspense twisted tight." --J. Alison James

A wonderful classic not to be missed...
By Storywraps
The little witch in the story is one hundred and twenty-seven years old... a mere youngster in that species. She lives alone in a witch's house in the middle of the wood with her talking pet raven Abraxas.
Every year the older witches, on Walpurgis Night, gather to dance the night away on Brocken Mountain. It's a huge celebration for witches all across the land. Little witch is far too young to attend so she decides to sneak in anyway and join in on the frivolity. She is exposed by her evil aunt Rumpumpel and humiliated in front of her peers. They abscond her broomstick and burn it to ashes. With no means of transportation she must walk for three days to get back to her home. She is given the edict that she has one full year to do some astounding good witchcraft if she is to be invited back to this festive occasion on Walpurgis Night ever again.
Will little witch be able to behave and do good for a whole year? Does she even know what a good witch is? She decides the best revenge she can have is to prove to her witch elders that they are wrong... that she will and can become a super-hero little witch doing good to those in peril. She comes to the rescue of many who are unable to help themselves and thus proves to herself and to the other witches that she is the best and "goodest" witch of all.
