變成老鼠的小男孩有辦法懲治女巫，恢復成人嗎？

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!

　　Roald Dahl為了娛樂他的4位小孩，在1960開始致力於兒童故事的寫作，為孩子們創作了十九部暢銷全球的兒童文學作品。其中以《女巫》(The Witches)，榮獲英國兒童文學「惠特比獎」及賣座電影《巧克力冒險工廠》也來自於他的作品Charlie and the Chocolate Factory，其他名作如Matilda, The BFG, The Magic Finger...等等，加上名插畫家Quentin Blake的巧手，讓人在閱讀的過程中，充滿了趣味。


　　Roald Dahl 羅爾德‧達爾（1916~1990）享譽文壇的英國兒童文學大師，其經典暢銷著作《巧克力冒險工廠》曾二度被翻拍為電影，至今仍廣受歡迎。


"I'm probably more pleased with my children's than with my adult short stories. Childern's books are harder to write It's tougher to keep a child interested because a child doesn't have the concentration of an adult. The child knows the television is in the next room. It's tough to hold a child, but it's a lovely thing to try to do."           ------Roald Dahl
