![]() ![]() Mildred Hubble, the witch of the title, is the antithesis of all of those Disney princesses that we grew up watching. It was wonderful being able to read about a girl who wasn’t perfect at everything. Long before J.K Rowling opened the doors on her school for witchcraft and wizardry, we were lucky enough to be able to attend Cackle’s Academy for Witches. I loved The Worst Witch when I was younger and I remember reading or listening to them all. I don’t know why but I suddenly had a huge desire to go back to this one. Which is why I put off the many books on my TBR list so I could read this book this week. It’s that great mixture of an easy read, lovely story, and a huge wave of nostalgia that really makes it worth doing. If couldn’t sleep for any reason then I’d just whip one off the shelf. There was a time when I used to read the Sophie books by Dick King-Smith to cheer myself up. ![]() ![]() Every now and then I get a sudden urge to go back and read one of the books of my childhood. ![]()
