 | More, more, more! I just couldn’t put it down. I wanted to stop myself and save some for tomorrow, but The Witches had me under their spell and I knew the only way I was putting this book down was when it was finished. Adventure, suspense, and humor, this 1983 Whitebread Award winner has it all. I’ve read a lot of children’s books and have enjoyed them all, but Roald Dahl will always be in a class of his own. I wanted to catch up on some reading and since it was Halloween season, what better than a story about our favorite broom riders and their battle against a brave albeit whiskery seven year old boy, and his lovable and wise grandmother. You’ll find magic, you’ll find potions, you’ll find love, and best of all you’ll find a perfect dose of fright as the story unfolds and lets us know that right now, at this very moment there could be witches in our very own neighborhood. What will you do? How will you be able to tell a witch from a normal person, and if you do find one will you be brave enough to fight it! Roald Dahl’s story telling is amazing as always and the illustrations by Quentin Blake deserve a special mention. His skill of just putting enough details into his drawings as to not take away any attention from what it’s supposed to portray is brilliant. His simple drawings immediately satisfy the images Dahl’s words had our imagination conjure up. A truly magnificent team, a delightful children’s book, and a must read whenever possible. |
