Books about witches
Books where witches are central characters rather than villains in the background. Some brew remedies in a village, some stand up to gods, some fight for their own freedom. Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching in A Hat Full of Sky shows witchcraft as hard, practical work, Madeline Miller's Circe retells the life of the witch of Aiaia, and Strega Nona brings the theme to the youngest readers.
