Description Of The Witches by Roald Dahl From The Publisher, Penguin Random House:

“From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG!

This is not a fairy tale. This is about real witches. Grandmamma loves to tell about witches. Real witches are the most dangerous of all living creatures on earth. There’s nothing they hate so much as children, and they work all kinds of terrifying spells to get rid of them. Her grandson listens closely to Grandmamma’s stories—but nothing can prepare him for the day he comes face-to-face with The Grand High Witch herself!”

About The Author, Roald Dahl:

Along with writing, Roald Dahl was a former ace fighter pilot and spy.  Born in Wales to Norwegian parents, he traveled after school and later enlisted in the Royal Airforce during WWII.  Injured during the war and married twice, Dahl became a beloved storyteller and inventor.  Many of his books are now movies.  Roald Dahl died in 1990 at the age of 74.  Read more about Roald Dahl here.

Loving The Witches by Roald Dahl? Don’t Miss Out On His Other Novels:

Matilda is a classic by Roald Dahl about a young girl with a terrible family situation and special abilities.

James and the Giant Peach is one of my favorites about a young boy, some monster-sized insects, and of course, a giant peach.  Find friendship and a new meaning for family and wealth.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been revised in movies over and over again.  Enter the magical (and kind of scary) world of Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory.

My childhood favorite, The BFG takes readers on a magical journey of uniting over differences.  Although not the most modern or appropriate, the Big Friendly Giant captures a small girl’s heart.
