THE WITCHES

After listening to his grandmother's stories of witches, the young narrator of this hilarious and wicked novel stumbles upon a convention of witches at an English seaside hotel. When the scary, bald-headed hags discover him, he falls victim to their plan to eliminate all the children of England. But fear not. Dahl doesn't let them get away with it. He spins a plan of revenge that is unexpected and delightful. Ron Keith, a British reader, flawlessly handles the story and voices in a way that had me laughing out loud. His pacing is excellent. This is a genuine can't-put-it-down production. P.B.J. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 95]
