Ведьмы: Сказочная повесть

The witches in this book are both terrifying and funny, which makes me wonder how Dahl balanced those tones in his creative process.

The idea that witches can hide in plain sight is both clever and a little creepy. I wonder if Dahl intended to make children think about appearances differently.

The mix of dark themes and humor seems to make the scary parts more approachable. Do others feel this helps or hinders kids in processing fear?
