The Witches by Roald Dahl, illustrated by Quentin Blake
Winner of the Whitbread Award.
One of my favourite Roald Dahl stories, it’s suitable for all ages. I used to read this book, along with many other Roald Dahl books, to my children and sometimes to my students. Reading is a great way to practise your English. This book is not too difficult – so why don’t you give it a go?
From the back cover – ‘You could be sitting next to a witch and never know it. They look just like ordinary women but they’re extremely dangerous to children! Luckily for the boy in this story, his grandmother knows what signs to look for but, even so, things don’t quite go as planned.’
