Another middle-grade novel The Doll Snatchers was published in 1969. In addition Norma was the author of numerous books and short stories for adults. Normas daughter Sue Kassirer was thrilled to recently rediscover the original manuscript for The Knitting Witch a story she had loved as a child. Wanting to share it with todays children Sue proceeded to edit and gently update the story drawing on her many years of experience as a childrens book editor at Simon & Schuster The Viking Press Random House and Harper Collins.Mark Richardson is a freelance illustrator working primarily in watercolor and ink. His illustrations mostly focus on picturing fictional subjects within childrens literature. He also draws inspiration from the natural world and is engaged in an ongoing series of portraits of the birds that pass through his own property in Sandy Hook Connecticut where he maintains a studio and shares a home and garden with his wife Barbara. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design Mark enjoys painting large landscapes that reflect upon his travels. He is also a bookbinder. Many of his artworks find their way into the hand-bound books that he produces in limited quantities from his studio.
