This is the very first chapter book I read all the way through with S, and she loved it. Too bad it’s filled with lots of misogyny.

So cute, so nostalgic! It was lovely to read this book again.

The sort of witch genocide at the end was a bit much but that too was quite funny 😂

Roald Dahl is a master of children's stories.

A wonderfully wicked story, and impeccably inventive.
Spooky, gripping, original. Everything you want in a story about witches.
