ReviewsRaves for The Legend of the Christmas Witch : "In a story that pairs the popular holiday with the pagan background of Yuletide, questions of intolerance and human flaws offer interesting layers to ponder and discuss... A well-written and thought provoking tale."-- Kirkus Reviews "The story is steeped heavily in the fairy tale tradition--raven scouts, capes woven from leaves, the ability to talk to animals, a queen who lays frozen under ice--and, especially when paired with illuminated-style borders and the deeply saturated colors of the artwork, it conjures up the magic of the Grimms and Andersen."-- Booklist
