The Witches

by: Roald Dahl

The Witches
Would you know a real witch if you saw one?

They don't ride on broomsticks. They don't wear black capes or pointy hats. In fact, they don't look like witches at all. But one thing is certain: A real witch is the most dangerous of all living creatures. So you'd better learn to know one when you see one! The young hero of this award-winning story learns that lesson in a hurry when he encouters a whole gruesome gang of them. He'll need all his wits about him to foil their wicked scheme--a dastardly plot to rid the world of children forever!

 Jean Marsh is best known for the role of Rose in Upstairs/Downstairs, the popular television series she co-created.

 

 

"A real witch is easily the most dangerous of all the living creatures on earth." But, if real witches disguise themselves as nice, ordinary ladies rather than flying around on broomsticks in pointy hats, how can you tell when you're face to face with one? Listen to this story and you'll find out all you need to know. You'll also meet a real hero, a wise old grandmother, and the most gruesome, grotesque gang of witches imaginable!

In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon."
