As part of my children's books project I have ended up
reading a bunch of Roald Dahl. My
respect for him is going sky high. The
books are original, funny and even a bit subversive.
The
Witches is a real cracker.
In this book the witches are nasty creatures – not only in appearance
(which they disguise to look like nice ladies) but in their behavious. They seek out children and kill them by using
magic.
The boy hero accidentally encounters some and then the
story gets exciting. I won't spoil it for
you.
If your young one is especially sensitive then this
might frighten them a bit … but in a thrilling way.
I think my grandchildren a bit too young for this but I am keeping this author in mind for the future.
ReplyDeleteI like this book too.
