Kitchen Witch

Kitchen Witch: a memoir by Cora Anderson  165 pp.

This brief book is a series of vignettes about the author's life starting with her childhood in Alabama through her marriage and the death of her husband, Victor. My favorites are about her childhood, including how important the visits of the bookmobile were and how she and her brother would read to each other and act out the books they checked out. In addition to her memories there are poems, recipes-a couple state fair prize-winners, and bits of folklore and folk medicine.
