Witches are real, and they are very, very dangerous. They wear ordinary clothes and have
ordinary jobs, living in ordinary towns all across the world—and there’s nothing they
despise more than children. When an eight-year-old boy and his grandmother come
face-to-face with the Grand High Witch herself, they may be the only ones who can
stop the witches’ latest plot to stamp out every last child in the country! This full-colour
graphic novel edition of Roald Dahl’s The Witches, adapted and illustrated by Eisner
Award winner Pénélope Bagieu, is the first-ever Dahl story to appear in this format.

looking forward to the return of her brother Bobby from the Western Front.
It is 1918 and little does she know that something else is on its way from
battle-scarred Europe: a disease that will soon prove more devastating than
any war. As time goes on, more and more people fall prey to the Spanish Flu,
schools are closed and public gatherings cancelled. And when at last Bobby
does come home, he is not the same person who went away.

• Includes a foreword with useful information on the coronavirus outbreak
as well as suggestions on what to do in a pandemic.

flu virus in the 1918 pandemic, and more people died (around 50 million)
than in the whole of the First World War.
• Part of a popular ‘factional’ series of historical diaries—an effective
