The Witches | Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake

I loved James and the Giant Peach and Matilda as a child. Maybe if I had read this before The Once and Future Witches I would have liked this book. I just can‘t get into it. It‘s way to focused around witch stereotypes and gender stereotypes to get me to buy in. Maybe if I‘d never read Harry Potter either. It‘s just not happening. Sorry, Roald Dahl.

We have an amazing exclusive for you, Litsians! Head over to @LittleBrownBooks to see some covers that didn't make the cut for Stacy Schiff's THE WITCHES. AND they have some images from behind the scenes. 😱 #AllHallowsRead #TheWitches

MCYmermaid Neat -- always fascinating to see options. 8y
Ellyyonn I'm reading this right now. Disturbing tale yet a fascinating part of our history. 8y
Julsmarshall Reading this now too-riveting story! 8y

oonaghmoon I may have to read based on all the evocative covers 8y
PirateJenny It's a fantastic book. I've read quite a few books on the subject and this ranks up there. I commuted NJ to NY with the hardcover. 😊 8y

No tall pointy black hats--this is what the real witches of Salem wore. What do you think of this rejected cover? #THEWITCHES 🌕🕸🔮🎃

Ilana I like. 8y
BoldCityBooks I like this one a lot. It looks like they are looking around, suspicious of their surroundings. It is a very tense cover. 8y
8little_paws I like the final one the most still! 8y

CrowCAH I like this cover. It's more historically correct. Something I'm striving for in writing my historical romance novel about 1700 pirates. 8y
Cinfhen I like this cover, reminds me of The Scarlet Letter 8y
Abby-J Do witches make cameras go out of focus? 8y
ephemeralwaltz Thanks for the inside peek! 8y

LeanneAslin I like this one, I feel the one that was chosen was a little too romanticised...although it's still nice. 8y
BookNotes Nope. 8y
PirateJenny My favorite. But I'm a sucker for most creepy. That's not always a good thing for historical books. I absolutely adored this book btw. Among the top books I've read on the subject 8y
