What I love most about this story is how it is truly terrifying, but also totally cheerful. I can see why Dahl is my daughter’s very favorite author of all time. She is a sunny, happy little child with a profound morbid streak. Case in point – she repeatedly checks out the same book on torture fr...
It's been a very long time since I read this...it was fun to share with my daughter who seemed to love it as much as I did. This is a wonderful adventure. I personally loved the Grand High Witch.

You may say I shouldn’t have been watc...

I had formed an opinion from somewhere that Roald Dahl wrote in more of a psychedelic style, like The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury, than this book was written.
