Roald Dahl [Quentin Blake] – The Witches – First UK Edition 1983
£400.00
A first edition, first printing of The Witches by Roald Dahl published by Cape, London in 1983. A near fine book, bumping to head of the spine, slightly bowed rear board, toning and spotting to the text block. In a near fine price clipped wrapper with a little fading to the spine, bumping to upper edges and some adhesive residue to front title.
The Witches by Roald Dahl is a darkly humorous children’s story about a brave boy and his Norwegian grandmother who battle real witches—women who disguise themselves as ordinary women but secretly hate children. When the boy is turned into a mouse, he uses his new form to expose the witches’ evil plan to turn all children into mice. Blending suspense, wit and imagination, Dahl celebrates courage, cleverness and the triumph of good over cruelty.
