About this title: Mildred Hubble is a trainee witch at Miss Cackle's Academy and tends to make a mess of it. She can't master the art of riding a broomstick and her spells have a way of going disasterously wrong. Jill Murphy studied at Camberwell Art School and is also the author of "Peace at Last" and "Five Minutes Peace". The "Worst Witch" stories reached a large new audience through the 1986 screening of a Hallowe'en film starring Diana Rigg and Tim Curry.

"I saw this on a shelf at a bookstore and had to get it for Halloween. It is a fun book, although the storyline is very basic. I don't think it is as popular in the U.S. as it is in the United Kingdom.
It definitely feels like a precursor to Harry Potter. Written in the mid `70's, it is about a girl who attends a school for witches. I can totally imagine a young J.K. Rowling reading it and loving it.
Anyway, read this before you read Harry Potter....."
"I think that I was about eight when I was first introduced to the original Boarding School for Witchcraft (but no Wizardry!!), and boy did Mildred Hubble and her friends make me wish my parents would send me to a Board School full of Witches!
I always wanted Mildred to be my best friend :P
Whilst I am a big Potter fan, I do think that The Worst Witch novels are much better, and much quirkier, if just less in depth and less of "wider picture" angle."
"The entire Worst Witch series was whole and entertaining. I whizzed through them several years ago. Apparently the author's written a fifth, which I happily do not consider myself too old to read!"
