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.
Elizabeth Williams Champney
The first of her "Witch Winnie" books was published by White and Allen in 1889, entitled "Witch Winnie: The Story of a "King's Daughter"". The subject of the series is not a practitioner of witchcraft, but rather a mischievous young school-girl, and the first book is dedicated to Champney's daughter ("My Little Witch Marie"). The "Witch Winnie" series eventually contained nine books, the last of which, "Witch Winnie in Spain", was published in 1898. Dodd, Mead and Company published an edition of the first book in 1891 and was the original publisher of the rest of the series. Later A. L. Chatteron of New York picked up the series as a reprint company.
