If you've ever felt that beneath the surface of everyday life there's a layer of mystery and magic, Dahl's "The Witches" could be a delightful escape. It's especially engaging for those who love a blend of dark humor and the fantastical. Dahl has a way of making the impossible seem plausible, and this book is a testament to that craft. A word of warning though, it might change the way you look at ladies in gloves and wigs forever.
