Issu de la 4ème de couverture : "Ce livre n'est pas un conte de fées mais une histoire de vraies sorcières. Vous n'y trouverez ni stupides chapeaux noirs, ni manches à balai : la vérité est beaucoup plus épouvantable. Les vraies sorcières sont habillées de façon ordinaire, vivent dans des maisons ordinaires. En fait, elles ressemblent à n'importe qui. Si on ajoute à cela qu'une sorcière passe son temps à dresser les plans les plus démoniaques pour attirer les enfants dans ses filets, vous comprendrez pourquoi ce livre vous est indispensable !"

"Pour l'amour de Dieu, dit-il sans se retourner, ne prépare rien pour moi. Je sors.

Danny vit seul avec son père dans une vieille roulotte de gitan en pleine campagne, avec un petit garage pour réparer les voitures et une pompe à essence. L'homme et l'enfant sont liés par une grande tendresse, par une commune passion pour la mécanique, par les jeux partagés, et bientôt par leur complicité dans le braconnage des faisans.

Les histoires qu'invente Roald Dahl, on a envie, après les avoir lues, de courir les raconter à tout le monde. Comme si on les avait vécues ou rêvées soi-même. Au service de cette suite de situations plus ou moins macabres, Roald Dahl met une chatoyante érudition. Qu'il nous parle, juste le temps qu'il faut, de chirurgie, de meubles d'époque, d'apiculture, de musique, de métempsycose ou de braconnage, qu'il emprunte le style " cinéma " ou qu'il pastiche Voltaire, c'est toujours avec le même souci du détail, le même sérieux pince-sans-rire, le même humour noir déguisé. --back cover
