Everybody who loves The Worst Witch will love Dorrie the Little Witch. When Dorrie is home alone one day, she decides to have a tea party with Gink the cat. But there's a knock on the door and it's the bad Blue Witch! Dorrie is in trouble, but with a bit of help from Cook's magic cabinet, can she capture the Blue Witch in time?

When her mother, the Big Witch, is summoned to a very important meeting, Dorrie finds herself confronting Mildred the (very bad) Blue Witch. Nasty, and very powerful, Mildred wants to kidnap her, but Dorrie isn't the daughter of a witch for nothing, and with the aid of her mother's perfume she turns the tables with a vengeance!
In addition to its appealing narrative, I have always thought that Dorrie and the Blue Witch was one of Patricia Coombs' most visually engaging titles. The scenes in which Mildred gives off blue sparks set my heart racing as a girl, and I enjoyed the sense of height evoked by the many staircases in Dorrie's home. The picture in which Dorrie, the Big Witch, and Gink all climb to the magic room in the tower, with their shadows spread out behind them on the wall, is particularly memorable.
Sadly, the Dorrie books are all out-of-print, and exceedingly difficult to come by. I consider myself fortunate indeed to have come across copies of this, and of the first title in the series, Dorrie's Magic, but I wish some astute children's editor would consider reprinting the lot of them! ( )
