One day the Little Witch, Dorrie, who had a bad habit of meddling with her mother's magic, decided she would be good all day. But, as luck would have it, that was the very day Aunt Agra chose to come to visit. And though Dorrie tried and tried, she just couldn't please Aunt Agra with anything. "Look at her!" Aunt Agra said. "She hasn't touched her sandwich. She hasn't drunk her milk. And look at her face! She's been into your magic again. She's turning green!" But this time Dorrie hadn't meddled with the Big Witch's magic at all. This time Dorrie really felt sick. It was odd, though -- for the minute the genial old Witch Doctor arrived, she began to feel better. And after taking only two of the chocolate peppermints which he prescribed, Dorrie was almost entirely over her bad case of Auntitis. But most astonishing of all was the way the Witch Doctor cured Aunt Agra!… (plus d'informations)

I absolutely adored the Dorrie books as a little girl, taking them out of the library time after time, reading them again and again, and poring over Patricia Coomb's delightful illustrations. I simply wallowed in Dorrie's world, studying everything from the details of Dorrie's attire - her ever-crooked hat, her perpetually mismatched socks - to the fascinating interiors of her home (I particularly like the steep stairway scenes). If willing myself into Dorrie's magical world had been possible, I would surely have succeeded in doing so!

Imagine my surprise and delight then, a little over a year ago, when I discovered that there were Dorrie books I had never encountered! Books like Dorrie's Magic (the first in the series) or Dorrie's Play (the most difficult of all to obtain). I immediately decided to read all twenty titles in chronological order. Unfortunately, my project stalled out when this fifth title - supposedly in my library system, but virtually un-findable - proved difficult to track down. But now here it is, and the Dorrie retrospective can continue!

Dorrie and the Witch Doctor is one of the titles I remember particularly loving (along with Dorrie and the Blue Witch and Dorrie and the Weather Box), so reading it again is a real pleasure! Dorrie's grumpy Aunt Agra - whose visit literally makes her ill, necessitating the calling in of the Witch Doctor - is such a trial (almost as bad as the Blue Witch!), that young readers will identify with Dorrie's green-faced distress. As always, Coombs manages to take a common childhood experience - dealing with difficult and overly critical adult relatives - and make it magical. The happy resolution, rather than coming from a spell, is the result of a different kind of magic altogether! ( )

Book from childhood. Dorrie get sick after the crank aunt comes. Doctor makes aunt not mean and the wholegroup has a happy visit. Not the best Dorrie but I still love Mrs. Fraiser. ( )

This is Dorrie. She is a witch. A little witch. Her hat is crooked and her socks are mixed up and she has her very own cat. His name is Gink.
