p:abstract
  • A Book of Witches is a 1966 anthology of 12 fairy tales from Europe that have been collected and retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders. It is one in a long series of such anthologies by Manning-Sanders. This book was first published in the United Kingdom in 1965, by Methuen & Co. Ltd. Some of tales from this book are recollected in A Choice of Magic (1971) by Manning-Sanders. And some of tales from this book are recollected in Folk and Fairy Tales (1978) by Manning-Sanders.In the foreword, the author writes: "There are good witches and bad witches; but the number of the bad witches is great, and the number of the good witches is small. And since the business of the good witches is mainly to undo the mischief made by the bad ones, their stories are not very interesting." Manning-Sanders indicates that Tatterhood is the only tale in the collection that makes any mention of a good witch. The author goes on to say that bad witches are quite powerful and can fly on broomsticks, stalks of ragwort or even old jars. (en)
