Cover of THE WITCHES by Roald Dahl

Contents

  • This is not a fairy tale. It is about REAL WITCHES. Real witches dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women, living in ordinary houses and working in ordinary jobs. How are we supposed to know who they are? This book will help. A real witch spends all of her time plotting to get rid of the children in her territory. She absolutely loathes children.
  • The story is set in Norway and the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth and features one of the loveliest grandmothers you could ever read about plus the most revolting, monstrous and unnatural group of 'ladies' imaginable.
