[ 영문 서평 ]

The New York Times Book Review
This is, in its way, a parable about the fear of death as separation and a child's mourning for the loss of his parents. Mr. Dahl's hero is happy when he is turned into a mouse--not only because of his speed and dexterity (andbecause he doesn't have to go to school) but also because his short life spannow means that he will never have to be parted from his beloved grandmother as he has been from his parents. Already well into her 80's, she has only a few years to live, and he as a mouse-person is granted the same few years. . . .'The Witches' is finally a love story--the story of a little boy who loves his grandmother so utterly (and she him) that they are looking forward to spending their last few years exterminating the witches of the world together. It is a curious sort of tale but an honest one, which deals with matters of crucial importance to children: smallness, the existence of evil in the world, mourning, separation, death.
