I grew up watching the 1990 version of Witches, and despite its scariness, (When Angelica Houston removed her mask, my little jaw dropped!) I always loved the film. It wasn't until I heard about the 2020 remake (Also a great movie!), that I developed a curiosity about the original book. Much like Roald Dahl's other works, it is an easy read, has great characters, and there is just an expected dash of magic in each of his works that makes them all so special. This was no exception and even my seven year-old had a blast while I read it to her. The one line of the Grand High Witch, where she states that someone was 'frizzled as a fritter,' had me laughing for days. I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys something a little creepy, entertaining and family friendly.
