>A Bowdoin Sophomore came in asking about a book she read when she was a
>child (ten or so years ago). She described it as being a picture book, or
>at least it had more pictures than text. It was about a young girl living
>with an evil woman/witch and everytime the woman left the house, the girl
>would rush to the shelf where the witch kept vials and flasks. She'd open
>one up each time and something inside the bottle would be released. When
>she came to the final vial, the girl released her mother, whom she didn't
>even know she had.
>
>The Bowdoin student described it as having beautfiul pictures.

>I know this isn't much to go on but if it rings any bells, please let us
know.

"Though my soul may set in darkness,
It will rise in perfect light,
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night...."
