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. .

Description:
London: Jonathan Cape, 1983. First printing. Fine in a near fine jacket.. First edition of Dahl's now-classic story of a young boy and his grandmother's dealings with a gathering of fearsome witches. Twice adapted into film, Dahl's titular antagonists have become fixtures in the canon of children's story villains. Distinct in their ability to pass as ordinary women, but bald, toeless, and clawed underneath their impeccable disguises, the Witches appear here in their first and arguably most memorable visual iteration: Blake's iconic illustrations. One of the BBC's "100 most influential novels." 9.25'' x 6.25''. Original teal paper boards, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped (£6.50) color pictorial jacket. Illustrated throughout in black and white. 208 pages. Jacket with light of wear to top edge, touch of rubbing to folds. Book with faint toning to leaves. Sharp.
