The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look.

'One child a week is fifty-two a year. Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear.'

This is a story about REAL WITCHES.

Real witches dress in ordinary clothes, have ordinary jobs and look very much like ordinary people.

But they are not ORDINARY . . .

Most of all, they hate children. Hate them with a red-hot sizzling hatred. And The Grand High Witch, leader of all the witches, has a plan to make each and every child disappear.

That is, unless one boy and his grandmother can stop her . . .
