Reading in 2018 and post-Harry Potter, I did find it was a little negative on women being the only witches. Why not warlocks? But that's cultural PC crap intruding into my brain - I'd prefer to push it out. The book is great. I'd say 8+ is ideal. ### ⭐ Hard to understand *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2019* We bought this to listen to on a road trip and it’s awful! The accent makes it hard for children to understand and they go from whispering to screaming. My son is 8 and he liked this book when I read it to him but he was frustrated with the audiobook ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Formula 86 Delayed-Action Mouse Maker *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2012* I first read this book when I was in the third grade, 25 years ago. I instantly decided then that it was my favorite book and I read and re-read it many times. I loved it. I recently took on a research project involving children's and young adult stories and have a long reading list of Children's stories to read - I put "The Witches" at the top of my list for nostalgia's sake, not sure what to expect.As an adult, I can report, that it is simply a magnificent story. I can see why I loved it so much as a child. Dahl never dismisses the reader (children) as being inept. Like the Grandmother in the story, Dahl knows children don't require extreme coddling. He's not timid about using fear to tell a great story.Parent's strive to create a safe world for their children. But that illusion is one that all parents must slowly deconstruct to prepare children for reality. Fairy tales are an integral part of that deconstruction. In fairy tales, monsters can exist in a way that allows children face their fears and walk through those fears to the other side where strength, courage and confidence are found."The Witches" is a frightening, yet thrilling read for children. Dahl is a masterful storyteller and in "The Witches" he has weaved imagination, fear and courage into a fantastically fun story that has stood the test of time and remains refreshingly relevant for each generation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/147249099-the-witches](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/147249099-the-witches) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
