Books with title Here There Be Witches

This is not a fairy-tale. This is about REAL WITCHES. Real witches don't ride around on broomsticks. They don't even wear black cloaks and hats. They are vile, cunning, detestable creatures who disguise themselves as nice, ordinary ladies. So how can you tell when you're face to face with one? Well, if you don't know yet you'd better find out quickly-because there's nothing a witch loathes quite as much as children and she'll wield all kinds of terrifying powers to get rid of them. Ronald Dahl has done it again! Winner of the 1983 Whitbread Award, the judges’ decision was unanimous: “funny, wise, deliciously disgusting, a real book for children. From the first paragraph to the last, we felt we were in the hands of a master”.

There is magic and sorcery and even a stolen princess needing to be rescued.When King Olric was chosen by the ruler of the universe, the majestic lion known as Shechem to rule over the vast kingdom of Avondel, the greatest of the seven kingdoms of the earth, there was a shift in the struggle between good and evil. His deposing of the former king who had dragged the kingdom to the brink of destruction was hailed by many and resented by some.While high on the thrill of his new victory, he made a mistake that will haunt his lineage for years to come.Unbeknownst to him, as he went on to make the kingdom even greater than its past glory, there were dark forces at work to tear down all that he had accomplished; so that the kingdom's end would be even worse than its beginning.
