Published in 1965, Spook is a fairly unusual story, when it comes to witchy tales of this sort. I have read a number of books where the witch's cat doesn't wish to be a familiar - Ursula Moray William's classic novel, Gobbolino the Witch's Cat, as well as Natalie Savage Carlson's Spooky Night picture-books, spring to mind in this respect - but this is the first I have encountered where the reluctant familiar is a dog. The story here is engaging, with just enough thrills to keep the young readers enthralled, and a happy, heartwarming ending.
