(1) K-3 Illustrated by Quentin Blake. In this tale of mischief, revenge, and redemption, old Wizzil the witch turns herself into a fly to torment retired farmer DeWitt Frimp, but the two end up falling in love. Steig's language is utterly unfettered, with alliteration so thick you could spread it, and packed with savory words and phrases. Blake's illustrations, full of energy and humor and movement, are sublime.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano | Horn Book Magazine Issue: July, 2000
