Description:
London, Jonathan Cape, 1983. . First edition, first impression; 8vo; illustrations by Quentin Blake, very slight toning to paper stock, as usual; publisher's blue boards, titles to spine gilt, Quentin Blake designed dust-jacket, a hint of rubbing to top edge, otherwise a fine copy. A classic dark tale from a master of the genre, the macabre menace only slightly mitigated by the target audience being children. Winner of the Whitbread Award for Children's Novel in 1983, The Witches was also successfully dramatised on several occasions, most famously perhaps the 1990 film featuring Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch, which featured a differing ending from that in the book (much to the author's chagrin). Intriguingly, it has also found itself at one time or another banned for perceived misogyny, as Dahl states that only women can be witches: 'I do not wish to speak badly about women,' the author writes. 'Most women are lovely. But the fact remains that all witches are women. There is no such thing… Read More

Description:
Jonathan Cape. 8vo., aquamarine publisher's boards, lettered in gilt along the spine; in the unclipped pictorial dust jacket designed by Quentin Blake (£6.50 net); pp. [vi], 7-206, [ii]; illustrated throughout with line drawings by Quentin Blake; a near-fine copy of this classic children's work, the pages ever-so-slightly toned, with spine tips a touch pressed; jacket, aside from some minor creases and a couple of spots to the rear flap, also near-fine. First edition. The Witches, one of Dahl's best-selling books, tells the frightening story of a world in which Witches abound, occasionally gathering under the leadership of the Grand High Witch, who plots to turn all unsuspecting children into mice. Although now perceived to be one of his greats, the book received mixed reviews upon publication, but its popularity has remained and it has been adapted for film twice - once in 1990 and another in 2020, with Anne Hathaway in the lead role. .
