Witches by Roald Dahl

The Witches is Roald Dahl’s darkly funny tale about real witches, who look like ordinary women and live ordinary lives while secretly loathing children, illustrated by Quentin Blake.

The Grand High Witch, who rules over every witch, has a scheme to make every child vanish, and only a young boy and his wise grandmother stand in her way. Thrilling, a little scary and full of Dahl’s wicked humour, it is a classic for confident young readers and a memorable family read-aloud.
