A Scottish grandmother explains the legend behind an old superstition to her grandson: Always crumble your eggshells, else the seawitches will get them and turn them into boats, from which they will cause storms and shipwrecks on the oceans. No library descriptions found. |

Published in 1991, Sea Witches was elementary school teacher Joanne Robertson's first book, and was apparently inspired by Scottish superstition, which holds that eggshells are used by witches to create all kinds of mischief. I found the text here striking, and thought it was well-paired with the gorgeous illustrations of László Gál, whose work I have enjoyed in a number of other folk and fairy-tale picture-books. As someone who loves witchy fare, I was particularly engrossed by the depiction of the sea witches themselves, who were beautifully spooky. Recommended to picture-book readers who enjoy witchy fare, or are interested in folk beliefs and superstitions. ( )
