I took a chance on this out of print 1960's children's book. I just didn't like the witch. A witch gets even with a mayor for not following through on his childhood promise of remembering her. Not only do her actions affect him but also the town he presides over. She meets a new boy though who does fulfill that promise. The New York Times review on it at the time said it had a random quality and was good on improvisation. l do agree with that. Only the witch was too mean spirited for me.
