A wonderfully quirky and increasingly rare piece of children's publishing history — The Little Witch's Book of Yoga by Linda Glovach, published in 1979 by Prentice-Hall, Inc. This is a first edition, first printing as confirmed by the full number line (1–10) on the copyright page, making it the most desirable version for collectors. Written and illustrated by Linda Glovach, this charming children's book introduces young readers to the philosophy and practice of Hatha Yoga through the playful lens of a little witch character and her animal companions. The book includes sections on yoga warm-ups, basic yoga poses (Cobra, Plough, Half-Lotus, Shoulder Stand, and more), breathing exercises, and even fun extras like a "Guru Costume" section — making it as entertaining as it is instructional. Published at the height of the American yoga and wellness boom of the late 1970s, this book holds a unique place at the intersection of children's literature, yoga history, and Halloween/witch pop culture — a combination that gives it broad collector appeal across multiple niches. Condition details: The hardcover boards are intact and structurally sound. The cover shows light soiling and minor edge wear consistent with a 45-year-old book. There is a small crease/bend to the top right corner of the front cover. Interior pages show age-appropriate tanning and minor spotting. A Disney Mickey Mouse rubber stamp appears on the interior page — a charming vintage detail suggesting a prior young owner.
