Real witches dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ordinary jobs.
Isn't that awful? How are we supposed to know who they are. A witch might be living next door to you now. That is why this book is so important. Even more so because a real witch spends all of her time plotting to get rid of the children in her particular territory. She absolutely loathes children.
But there are few signs you can look out for, and this is a story - an astonishing story - about real witches in England that will help you to recognize the genuine article should you ever be unlucky enough to come across her. It takes place in Norway and at the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth, and features one of the lovliest grandmothers you could ever read about plus the most revolting, monstrous and unnatural group of ladies imaginable. |
