About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

Presenting a giganticus new reading of Roald Dahl's The Witches, read by the hugely talented comedian Lolly Adefope. This immersive audiobook is bursting with ree-volting sound effects, dynamic sound design, and original music composed by Rusty Bradshaw.


This is a story about REAL WITCHES.

Real witches dress in ordinary clothes, have ordinary jobs and look very much like ordinary people.

But they are far from ORDINARY . . .

The Grand High Witch, leader of all the witches, has a plan to make each and every child disappear.

That is, unless one boy and his grandmother can stop her . . .

James and the Giant Peach, read by James Acaster.
Matilda, read by Kate Winslet.
The BFG, read by David Walliams.

I listened to an audiobook by the American poet, Robert Bly, called The Human Shadow, which is on Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung's Shadow Self. In this reading, he referred also to Jung's archetypes, and said that one of the useful archetypes that men tend to repress is the Witch.

He suggested that reading about witches was a good starting point for integrating that part of your shadow.

So here I am, listening to my first book about witches. I shall progress to more adult readings following this audiobook, but nevertheless, this reading on Roald Dahl's Witches was a fun starting point for my shadow integration process!

Even though I'm an adult - I was entertained!

Lolly Adefobe had done an amazing job! I had purchased and returned the previous version that was narrated by Miranda Richardson. That version was unbearable. The way Miranda did the voice for the Grand High Witch made my ears bleed. It was awful.
Lolly’s version is an absolute delight to listen to and I hope she narrates more books!

An absolute delight
