Nostalgia Book Club: Which Witch? by Eva Ibbotson

from Fiction Fans · host Lilly Ellison

Your hosts are once again joined by Hannah and Laura from On Wednesdays We Read Podcast for another episode of Nostalgia Book Club. They discuss “Which Witch?" a kids’ book that’s half love story, half witchcraft exhibition, and half earthworms (yes, this was a Lilly choice). They talk about the value of dark themes in children's lit, the unremarkable love interest, and framing dated stories for young readers. There’s also a Words are Weird segment about the same words getting used for VERY different purposes in American vs British English.Check out On Wednesdays We Read Podcast!https://owwrpod.com/Find us on discord: https://discord.gg/dpNHTWVu6b or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fictionfanspodThanks to the following musicians for the use of their songs:- Darkest Child by Kevin MacLeodLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License
