"A brilliantly funny, non-scary classic."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

My siblings loved ‘Badjelly the Witch’ in the 70s; my kids loved her in the 1990s and now the next generation loves her, too. Quirky, wacky, fun and definitely UNscary – this is a classic fairytale with a unique Spike Milligan twist. Sometimes it's like a steam of consciousness – one gets the sense that he made it up while telling it as a bedtime story to his own children. The print (it's handwritten in Milligan's own writing) can be challenging for early readers/grandpa­rents without the right specs (!) but it's an enduring classic. Read all about the adventures of Tim and Rose, their cow Luce, Fluffybum the cat, Dinglemouse, Dulboot the giant and Jim the eagle – as well as Badjelly the Witch herself.

This book has been around for a long time and well loved by lots of children, as has the story told by Spike himself on DVD.

Loved Bad Jelly the Witch and Fluffy bum the cat when I was a kid. I was pleased to have found a copy to share with my kids. They love it too!

Description

Her name is Badjelly and she can turn children into sausages or chop them up to make boy-girl soup. Sometimes she turns policemen into apple trees, and bananas into mice! She is the wickedest witch in all the world.

Rose and Tim encounter Badjelly the witch who can turn children into sausages or chop them into boy-girl soup, but they are rescued by Jim the Giant Eagle. Suggested level: primary.
