The Witches

Description

The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look.

‘One child a week is fifty-two a year. Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear.’

This is a story about REAL WITCHES.

Real witches dress in ordinary clothes, have ordinary jobs, and look very much like ordinary people.

But they are not ORDINARY...

Most of all, they hate children. Hate them with a red-hot sizzling hatred. And The Grand High Witch, leader of all the witches, has a plan to make each and every child disappear.

That is, unless one boy and his grandmother can stop her...
