'A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero' - David Walliams
One child a week is fifty-two a year.
Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear.
BEWARE.
There are witches EVERYWHERE. Witches could be a cashier in a supermarket, a woman driving a fancy car, or even your own teacher.
The only thing a witch cares about is squelching children. She hunts and squelches as many children as she possibly can. At least one a week.
The Grand High Witch hates children most of all and plans to make every single one of YOU disappear.
Only one boy and his grandmother can stop her. But if their plan fails, the Grand High Witch will frizzle them like fritters, and then what will happen?
Soon to be a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring ANNE HATHAWAY, OCTAVIA SPENCER, STANLEY TUCCI and CHRIS ROCK, coming in October 2020.
Inspired by Roald Dahl's spine-tingling story The Witches, we present the ultimate guide to witch-spotting, stuffed with fun activities, stories, jokes and more!
Witches are hiding everywhere in plain sight and want to rid the world of smelly children like YOU!
'For all you know, a witch might be living next door to you right now . . .'
It's tricky to spot them because they look so ORDINARY. They have ORDINARY jobs, live in ORDINARY houses and wear ORDINARY clothes. That's what makes them so hard to catch . . .
This book is the ultimate guide to bringing down witch-kind, packed with activities, extracts from the original story, games and bonus material.
Three of Roald Dahl's best-loved bestselling books are together in a single volume, all charmingly illustrated by Quentin Blake. This Roald Dahl collection is the perfect gift for longtime fans and newcomers alike!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, Our Hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!
James and the Giant Peach. After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends—Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!
Fantastic Mr. Fox. Someone's been stealing from the three meanest farmers around, and they know the identity of the thief—it's Fantastic Mr. Fox! Working alone they could never catch him; but now fat Boggis, squat Bunce, and skinny Bean have joined forces, and they have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded. What they don't know is that they're not dealing with just any fox—Mr. Fox would rather die than surrender. Only the most fantastic plan can save him now.

Dzieci kochają książki Roalda Dahla, a jego Charlie i fabryka czekolady oraz Matylda należą do ulubionych lektur szkolnych. Można je też zobaczyć w wersjach filmowych. Steven Spielberg wyreżyserował film zatytułowany ""BFG"", którego pierwowzorem jest opowieść o Bardzo Fajnym Gigancie.
Natomiast Fantastyczny Pan Lis zainspirował Wesa Andersona do nakręcenia w 2009 roku filmu animowanego o tym samym tytule, w którym główni bohaterowie przemówili głosami George'a Clooneya i Meryl Streep.
