"Ruth Chew's classic books perfectly capture the joy of everyday magic."—Mary Pope Osborne, bestselling author of the Magic Tree House series
Ruth Chew's chapter books are full of simple, matter-of-fact magic that's sure to enchant budding fantasy readers.
When Katy and Louise find the key to the locked drawer in Katy's bureau, they aren't impressed by old things belonging to Katy's Aunt Martha. There can't be anything special about the old robe, broken mirror, tin box, or red rubber boots inside, can there? But when Louise dons the robe during the school play and suddenly disappears, Katy and Louise realize that they might just be able to have some grand adventures with the things that Aunt Martha left behind.
From the Hardcover edition.

So HAPPY to see Ruth Chew available again!
By Irene Adler ~Kindle Forum Pro~
I think I received my first copy of "What the Witch Left" through a Scholastic book event at school in the 1970s. I remember vividly that I LOVED this book when I first got it as a child, and it has been a favorite in my library ever since. The story is simple, but very well told and well-illustrated by Ruth Chew herself, as were most of her charming, magic related books. After years of buying Ruth Chew's books second hand, and sadly after her recent passing, I am extremely pleased to see Kindle versions of her books available, and especially happy to see that they include the original illustrations. I hope many generations to come will enjoy Ruth Chew's charming and exciting books.

I'm so glad they are republishing Ruth Chew books. Although I own the originals, I'm afraid the old paperback may start falling apart! Really fun magical read.
