More amazing nonsense from an absolute genius storyteller. Tom Maschler 1933-2020 was both Roald Dahl's publisher at Jonathan Cape and literary agent. Ex-Heywood Hill Mayfair book slip inserted.

Dahl, Roald; Illustrated by Quentin Blake
The Witches.
London: Jonathan Cape 1983. First edition of Dahl’s Whitbread Award-winning children’s novel illustrated by Quentin Blake. Octavo original cloth. Boldly signed by Roald Dahl on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. Dahl's The Witches centers on the experiences of a young British boy and his Norwegian grandmother in a world where child-hating societies of witches secretly exist in every country. "Don't be fooled by those witches with their black hats black cloaks and broomsticks though those are not REAL WITCHES. Real witches are exceedingly difficult to spot in the wild and dress in ordinary clothes looking very much like ordinary people." Dahl's vital indicators for spotting a real witch include facts like they always wear gloves they have no toes are bald as boiled eggs and they have blue spit. “Dahl seems to have made an art form of the rediscovery that children tend to warm to the sorts of horror that make lesser mortals adults squirm with displeasure… He is undeniably special†Connolly 104. Jonathan Cape hardcover
