| I'm looking for the above book, in addition to
two others, authors unknown to me (sorry). I loved these as a child adn
unfortunately they were thrown out. Any help you could give me in locating
these would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Old Black Witch was a favorite book
of my daughter's. She got it as a monthly issue of the Parents Magazine
Children's bookclub in the mid-70's. It is written by Wende Devlin. I just
found Loganberry's site today. Hooray! I love it. Thanks for a great service.
I have in hard back Old Witch and
Old
Witch and the Polka Dot Ribbon and I am really interested in getting
a hardback Old Witch Rescues Halloween to complete my "Old
Witch Set." Thank You so much for your help. I loved these
books as a child and still as an adult. I hope you can help me!
I remember getting a book when I was little that
was about a little boy and his mother moving into an old house. There was
a witch who lived there and she was not happy with the new occupants. When
the mother opened up a teahouse this just made the witch angrier until
she was asked to help. If I remember correctly this book had lots of colorful
pictures. Can you find it for me?
I remember reading this book in the late 70's.
It's about a dog (I think his name is Fletcher) whose owner is a blonde-haired
girl. She spends a lot of time petting the baby chicks on the farm. The
dog is jealous of the attention the chicks receive, so he decides to try
to hatch from a huge egg to impress her and win her love. Two beavers help
him construct an "egg" out of twigs, leaves, mud, etc to "hatch" from.
Anyone?
This is How Fletcher Was Hatched by the Devlins.
Hello! I was hoping you could help me find the
name of the movie that was based on Old Black Witch.
I remember watching it as a child, and I just bought the book, but nobody
seems to know what the name of the movie is. I would love to share
it with my children.Thank you!
The movie version of Old Black Witch
was called "Winter of the Witch" and was produced for TV in 1969.
I haven't been able to find it anywhere, though.
This is the best childrens book ever! I'm 19 and
i still
adore this book, it was my moms when she was
a girl, and it got handed down, my children are going to read it too, its
a tradition in my family. I would recommend this book to anyone, its a
heartwarming story for anyone. I LOVE THIS BOOK! READ IT! A sweet book
about a little black witch, who befriends a single mother and her son,
and makes the worlds best pancakes, what could be better than a little
witch to come downstairs every morning to make breakfast!
I also remember seeing the movie based on Old
Black Witch in elementary school. That day, the teacher taught
us how to make blueberry pancakes. I searched the Internet Movie
Database (imdb.com) and found the title. It is called Winter of
the Witch and was directed by Gerald Herman.
Gerald Herman (Film Version), "Winter
of the Witch."
If I remember correctly, didn't the film star
Hermoine
Gingold and Leslie Caron? If so, that's an interesting
coincidence as they were both in the musical "Gigi" together...
Old Black Witch. I Love this
Book!!!! I remember reading it over and over again when I was six years
old, it was given to me by my mother and I wore it in to a comfortable
dog-eared state. However my new step-sister hated the cover of old Black
Witch and she made me get rid of it when I was eight, I've been searching
for this forever so thank you so very much for all of your hard work, I'll
tell everyone I know about you!!!!!
Wende and Harry Devlin,
Cranberry Halloween. I absolutley love the Cranberry
Books, when my children were small I would take them to the public libray
and they would always want me to check those books out. The illustrations
and stories are wonderful for children and adults. |
Hi -- I was just looking at your Master Wants
List, and I think the person seaching for "Blueberry Pancake Witch" is
actually looking for Old Black Witch, which is about a witch
who makes magic blueberry pancakes. Hope this is of some use.
Blueberry Pancake Witch: This keyword phrase refers
to the book Old Black Witch. The last page of the book has
a blueberry pancake recipe on it. I should have told you that in my last
e-mail. I'll be making my list and checking it twice to see if you can
find my lost favorites. Thanks again.
And a million thanks for your help in finding
the Old Black Witch and How Fletcher Was Hatched!!!!
If you ever get Old Black Witch,
I'd LOVE to have that one as well! Thanks so much!
YOU ROCK!!! I could never be a bookseller
(or sell antiques) because I'd never make any money. There HAS to
be a name for someone with a "book affliction". My husband and I
both suffer from it. We currently don't have a sofa, but we have
stacks of books in every room... i know, we're sick. We thought
going to the library would save us money -- except we notoriously took
out too many, misplaced one or two among our own books, and wham -- hefty
fines. There goes the saving money theory! I should just come
up to your shop sometime -- my mom is from Cleveland, so we go up once
in a while to get nostalgic.
This book might have been witten in the early
70s.It was bought through a monthly book club. I think the title is "The
Witches on Blueberry Hill" It is about a house built on a hill that some
witches live in. A single Mom, Moves in and wants to build a diner or bed
and breakfast on the first floor. But the witches try to frighten them
away. Until at the end of the story The witches make some blueberry pancakes
while saying the magic spell and stirring it with a wooden spoon. It has
the recipie and the saying in the back of the book so you can also make
the pancakes.
Is your name really Logan? And you named your
company Loganberry? I love it. The Old Black Witch just came
and I'm so excited and tickled to have it in my hands. It's worn as if
I had handled it myself all these years and it feels right. Somebody or
bodies have loved that book as much as I did. Thank you so much for helping
me replace this very valuable sentimental object. I can hardly wait to
share it with my son. I want to tell the whole world.... You're great.
A friend and I were trying to remember the name
of a film we saw as children in school. After looking at this website,
I now know the name of the book, but does anyone know the name of the film
about the witch who makes magic blueberry pancakes?
great site. I found this while researching the
book the old black witch - I read it as a little girl.
Now when my twins were born last year my sister gave me our torn and haggard
Old
Black Witch book from the 60's. It recently lost it's cover!
But I am glad we still have it and am putting it aside for a while until
the twins get out of the chewing and ripping stage.
I have been searching for the "Blueberry Witch"
forever! I
read your posts and have not been able to find
much either. I did find an R rated Winter of the Witch distributed by:
Parents' Magazine Films Inc.!!! I still can't find where to purchase it
or if it's the right one. The rating has me a bit stumped! I loved that
movie. They showed ot to our entire school on rainy days and in California
they didn't come often enogh. I didn't ever know there was a book.
I'm 34 and remember my love for this like it was yesterday. : )
Old Black Witch. I also was
shown the movie version of this in elementary school. It always stuck
in my head, but I couldn'\''t remember the title. Everyone thought
I was crazy, talking about a witch who made pancakes. A few years
ago, I was substituting in a kindergarten classroom. While I was
cleaning up, I found the book and opened it up. I'm glad the kids
weren't there, because I screamed, "This is IT!!!" Love it, thanks
a lot!! |
