Summary "The Sociable Sand Witch" by Thomas Lambert Sappington is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Junior Jenks, a young boy who, instead of enjoying the beach with his family, unintentionally encounters a whimsical Sand Witch while digging in the sand. The Sand Witch is not like traditional witches; she has a sociable and friendly demeanor, drawing Junior into her magical underworld filled with unique creatures and adventures. At the start of the story, Junior is leisurely digging at the beach while his family is swimming. Suddenly, he meets the Sand Witch, who surprises him by popping up from under the sand. Their conversation reveals Junior's fears of the water and bathing, contrasting with the Witch's curiosity about his playful spirit. As they converse, the Witch takes Junior beneath the sand to her enchanting world, full of curious characters — including her children, and promises him delightful experiences, such as clams skipping rope and starfish shooting. The opening sets a light-hearted tone, inviting readers to explore Junior's adventures and the quirky existence of the sociable Sand Witch. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
