The Worst Witch
"The Worst Witch" () was first published in 1974 by Allison & Busby, who took the book on after it had been turned down by three other publishers.
The Witch of Edmonton
Written and first acted in 1621, the play was not published until 1658. It was entered into the Stationers' Register on 21 May that year; the edition that followed was issued by the bookseller Edward Blackmore. The title page of the first edition attributes the play to "divers well-esteemed Poets; William Rowley, Thomas Dekker, John Ford, &c." Scholars have generally ignored the "et cetera" and assigned the play to the three named playwrights—though a few have noted that the three writers were working with John Webster at the time, on "Keep the Widow Waking," and have suggested that the "&c." might stand for Webster.
