Set within a fireplace, The Shadow Witch tells of a witch and her brother, a wizard, who must fight for good against evil. Wonderfully told by Gertrude Crownfield and beautifully illustrated by Anne Merriman Peck, this old-fashioned tale of love and hatred is sure to delight. From the Prologue Come, sit with me beside the broad hearthstone and gaze into the depths of the fire when it burns low, for not among the leaping flames alone are there to be seen marvelous things. Deep hidden from your eyes at first, but plainly visible as you look closer, are countless forms of brightness and of beauty. You will find them among the shining coals that glimmer in scarlet and gold before you when the embers lie clear and warm upon the hearth. You will behold them among the shadows that flit across the embers with delicate grace and changeful hues. Here, spread wide open, is a part of the magical Land of Fire, the wonderland of the good and peaceful Ember Fairies. A golden gate gives entrance to it. Shining pathways lead through its bright gardens. Its skies are warm and glowing. Here, decked with flaming banners, stands the home of the good Prince Ember—his fairy Palace of Good Cheer. Here moves the beautiful Shadow Princess, in trailing garments of rose and amethyst. Here she may be seen in her dance of joy and ecstasy followed by her faithful band of Shadows. Long ago, in the Land of Shadows, lived the Shadow Witch, the one beautiful and loving creature in all that dim and darksome land that lies away from the Land of Fire, and between it and the Chimney Back. Close to her domain is the great Plain of Ash, where the giant, Curling Smoke, rises, where the crafty Ash Goblin lurks, where the boisterous Wind in the Chimney swoops down from out the Chimney Mouth. Near by, also, in his Cave of Darkness, her brother the Wizard works his enchantments. If you will but hearken, I will tell you how the Shadow Witch came to leave that grim land with its evil fairies, and why it is that she now dances with happiness amid the good fairies of the Fire, in the Land of Glowing Embers. You shall hear, also, of the noble Prince Ember, and of the quest upon which he once set out. What speed he had in his high adventure, and whether or no he brought it to a happy and fortunate close, this tale will make known to you.

The Shadow Witch Gertrude Crownfield Anne Merriman Peck 9781520291192 Books Reviews
I actually read this awhile back, but I wanted to refresh my thoughts on it. Really a good book!
This was a very good read! The story exciting enough to keep me wanting to continue reading, and I don't normally read fiction.
I did not like the Shadow Witch's dependence on the Prince for her rescue, or when confronting her brother, the wizard. She needed a more realistic part in the story.
A good story about an evil witch and how she changed. If you like witch stories you will like this one.
This book was written nearly 100 years ago so the reader must remember that. It is a true fairytale and I found it to be very charming.
Loved it brought me back in time to place of magic dust in the pockets of my jacket to be used in times of trouble
I loved it! It was so different!! I love how she had the story take place in a fireplace...totally surprising. I must read.
