Originally published in Dutch as Kom je dansen, boze heks?, this sweet picture-book is the ninth title from author Hanna Kraan and illustrator Annemarie van Haeringen to feature the eponymous Wicked Witch - or, more accurately, the "angry witch" - but only the first in picture-book form. The character of "de Boze Heks" first appeared in 1990, in the pages of the story collection, Verhalen van de boze heks - translated into English as Tales of the Wicked Witch - and she went on to star in seven more such collections. The first three of these collections have been translated into English, and I hope to track them down at some point and read them. I enjoyed Come and Dance, Wicked Witch!, finding the story engaging and the artwork interesting, but I couldn't help wondering whether it would have made a stronger impression upon me, were I already familiar with the characters. On the other hand, I didn't feel at a disadvantage, not having read the earlier titles, and perhaps the picture-book format here makes a good introduction to the world of "de boze heks" for younger children. However that might be, it is to younger children who enjoy stories of witches and woodland animals that I would recommend this one, as well as to those readers interested in Dutch children's books.… (altro)
