About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

Presenting a giganticus new reading of Roald Dahl's The Witches, read by the hugely talented comedian Lolly Adefope. This immersive audiobook is bursting with ree-volting sound effects, dynamic sound design, and original music composed by Rusty Bradshaw.


This is a story about REAL WITCHES.

Real witches dress in ordinary clothes, have ordinary jobs and look very much like ordinary people.

But they are far from ORDINARY . . .

The Grand High Witch, leader of all the witches, has a plan to make each and every child disappear.

That is, unless one boy and his grandmother can stop her . . .

Just the right blend of fright and plucky fight. The rock and roll grandmother, the gruesome witches, and the courageous little mouse. My kids were riveted.

A Stonewall classic from Dahl the maestro

Lolly Adefope has done the most incredible job voicing the Grand High Witch that I don't think there's enough superlatives to describe how good it is. It will make your blood run cold. Fantastic story made better by gifted voice talent.

Narrator is outstanding!
