The Witch Who Wasn't is a children's book written by Jane Yolen and illustrate by Arnold Roth. It was first published in 1964.
Description[]
A silly tale of a little witch named Isabel (not my mother, Isabelle who was never a witch) who cannot spell correctly. That is–her spells go all wonky. In the end she learns that being different makes the difference. Something kids still need to know!
Roth’s quirky, pun-filled illustrations seemed ahead of their time.
