Suppose You Met a Witch by Ed Emberley

In 1973, artist and illustrator Ed Emberley had been prolifically creating children’s books for more than a decade when he conceived his most ambitious project to date. Suppose You Met a Witch, featuring Emberley’s signature style at its most lavish, is considered by many to be the beloved artist’s masterpiece.

This title, at the time relatively unsuccessful and one of the hardest-to-find works in Emberley's catalogue, is available for a new generation of audiences. Packed with extraordinary imagery and rich with visual wit, Suppose You Met a Witch lets us all experience what it must be like to be under a witch’s spell.

Reissued for the first time since 1973, the book uses Ian Serraillier’s striking poem and Ed Emberley’s psychedelic illustrations to show us what happens when two clever and resourceful children encounter a witch in the darkest part of the wood.
