The book I read it in I’m sure was from one of the delightful “Tales of the....” series published by Ginn and Co. xoxox <br /><br />PS sorry- on second thoughts no! It was a green book called “Witches” (the title was in a witchy font in yellow) and it contained this gem amongst others including:<br /><br />“The witch!<br />The witch!<br />Don’t let her get you <br />Or your Aunt wouldn’t know you<br />The next time she met you!”Sarah Khannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459096535013512763.post-85857034563535200332014-11-20T21:05:46.377+00:002014-11-20T21:05:46.377+00:00Hi, it was possibly the same book then!

I read it in a book of (possibly spooky-themed) poems which was in our primary school library but could only vaguely remember a couple of lines ("Mother mother Ruth's gone flying / hush my children, stop that crying" and "Mother mother what do witches eat? / [........] and YOU, my sweet"). I'd be interested to know where you found this poem from yourself? I also agree that the witch on that house is a fascinating detail, I wonder if there is a story behind it.
