Malcolm Bird’s 1984 first-edition hardcover, The Witch’s Handbook, blends spooky-fun verse with intricate illustrations that pull readers of every age into a world of potions, spell jars, and moonlit rides. Square and solid in the hand, this picture book feels like a secret grimoire rescued from a storybook attic.

The opening two leaves carry light foxing, yet the remaining pages stay crisp, bright, and unmarked—no scribbles, tears, or dog-ears, and the binding is reassuringly tight. A smoke-free, carefully shelved copy ready for collectors, gift-givers, or budding occultists.

Andre Deutsch’s debut printing is becoming harder to find in tidy condition, especially with its original jacketed boards intact. Young-adult fantasy fans, folklore lovers, and anyone hunting nostalgic Halloween décor will prize this vintage gem.
