Summary

Winner, Whitbread Children's Book of the Year

Brought to you by Penguin.

Presenting a giganticus new reading of Roald Dahl's The Witches, read by the hugely talented comedian Lolly Adefope. This immersive audiobook is bursting with ree-volting sound effects, dynamic sound design and original music composed by Rusty Bradshaw.

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 far from ORDINARY....

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....

Narrator is outstanding!

Lolly Adefope has done the most incredible job voicing the Grand High Witch that I don't think there's enough superlatives to describe how good it is. It will make your blood run cold. Fantastic story made better by gifted voice talent.

Fantastic

Really embarrassing that adults have looked up (because they definitely won’t remember the one line)
The slight change in reference to wigs, THIS BOOK IS FOR CHILDREN!
Not for adults to cry about because it’s turned “woke”

Lolly does a great job, very surprised nobody moaned she has read it actually 😂
