October 6, 2016 - The Story of Witch Hazel, a new book by Dori Smyth, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Witch Hazel is a memorable Halloween character whom many people from all over have either heard of or read about in Dori Smyth's local newspaper. Through the years, they have traveled from neighboring towns hoping to have their own experience as "Hazel" is loved by so many. Since these stories and encounters continue even to this day, Dori felt it was time that all children had the opportunity to read about this gentle, lovable, and funny witch who brings so much spirit to Halloween.
