people fascinated by witches and magic
I seem to remember that one of the things the witch left was a pair of 7-league boots that allowed the wearer to take one step and go a long, long, long way. I wanted boots like that.
I think there was also a box which could be opened to find lost things. Like if you lost your checkbook, you opened the box and there was your checkbook. (Or maybe I"m making up that item. In any case, I could use a box like that.)

Ruth Chew used to be my absolute favorite author as a kid. She had stories that involved finding mysterious lands through caves, and boots that could take you hundreds of miles with each step. Awesome. I wanted to live in magic.

Read in January, 1985
This was a childhood read that always came creeping back to me. Forgot the title so I had to go searching an online forum for help. I bought it and re-read it a few years ago. Still love it.

I think this book belonged to my mother when she was a little girl, and somehow made its way into my collection and somehow made it through the move... how interesting! I've never read it...

Read in January, 1974
One of the first chapter books I read on my own. Perfect balance of suspense, adventure, and humor. Chew's other books don't seem to be as good.

Even though this book is a bit childish I still think that it deserves a 5 star points. The point is that I just really liked this book.

I LOVED this book when I was a kid. I think I probably read it 5 or 6 times.
