Soon to be a major motion picture starring Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci, and Chris Rock!

This is not a fairy tale. This is about real witches.

Grandmamma loves to tell about witches. Real witches are the most dangerous of all living creatures on Earth. There's nothing they hate so much as children, and they work all kinds of terrifying spells to get rid of them. Her grandson listens closely to Grandmamma's stories - but nothing can prepare him for the day he comes face-to-face with The Grand High Witch herself!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Dahl's stories work better in audio than in print.... The best of the lot, I think, is Miranda Richardson's The Witches. In her voice, the main witch, a kind of demented Lady Hitler with a hoarse Teutonic caw, rolls her rrr's like a machine gun. She gives a musical delivery that can turn the word 'cheese' into a five-syllable delicacy spilled in a descending glissando of notes. My middle-school children could hardly understand this character, partly because whenever she started speaking they screamed with laughter.... Richardson's élan and glee at The Witches, well, bewitched me." (Gregory Maguire, The New York Times Book Review)

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian...[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” (The New York Times)

How could the performance have been better?

The voice performed for the Grand High Witch is almost impossible to understand. It's too much. My kids and I were all confused as we listened on our commutes to school. Other than that, it was great.

poor character voice

I'm not as big a fan of this one as Matilda, but my kid loves it. Thumbs up.

Miranda Richardson's narration of this classic tale is mostly very good. Unfortunately, the sound effects mainly detract, and her representation of The Grand High Witch is painful; she yells and shrieks, and it is often difficult to even understand what she's saying.

Pretty good

Very imaginative, though a little frightening for some younger listeners (good for 7 and above).

Wow

Great story but the voice of the Grand High Witch was so pitchy and loud it made me want to smash my iPad in spite of the screechy voice I loved this book and highly recommended it to people five and up

Good but the voice

Glad I finally read the source material for the movie that scared me most as a kid!

Even better than the movie I grew up being terrified of!

‘The Witch’ is a great Roald Dahl story. Dahl was never afraid to go dark for his children’s’ books and this novel’s premise — witches seeking to murder kids — was one of his darkest.

Miranda Richardson does a good job reading the story and acting out the different characters. There has been some criticism about how she reads for the Grand High Witch (she does a bit of screaming) and while I see where they’re coming from it wasn’t too bad. The character only appears in a few chapters regardless.

One issue I had was the use of sound effects throughout the story. They aren’t overwhelming but they are unnecessary and even distracting at times. The stock audio of a woman screaming is particularly annoying.

Caveats aside this is a great novel with a strong performance from the narrator.

Great story and performance, unnecessary sound effects
