The Witch in the Broom Cupboard and Other Tales by Pierre Gripari

Brilliantly bizarre modern fairy tales from one of French children's literature's best loved writers - the Gallic Roald Dahl
"'A wonderful collection of stories for children.. Would easily give five stars. It is certainly a book to treasure and it will be firmly placed on the keeper shelf." -- Bookbabblers

"Immensely readable.... highly recommended to all parents looking for stories to read aloud to the family, to teachers [and] to young readers with a sense of humour." -- 5-star review, Books for Keeps

"These 13 stories show how clever youngsters overcome the traditional wicked characters with the help of a little bit of magic... refreshingly different... improbable but charming." -- Parents in Touch

"These stories are wonderfully bizarre; retaining the traditional charm of a fable there is often a strong moral core, devilishly decorated with warmth and humour." -- We Love Books

"A wonderful book. Funny, tender and daft." -- David Almond 
Pierre Gripari, the French-Greek author, dubbed 'A Martian in exile', was one the most successful writers for children in twentieth-century France and a prolific writer for both adults and children.
