Esio Trot
If you can believe it, this is my first Roald Dahl.
I was most certainly read them as a child but this is the first i've read myself.
And it didn't disappoint.
As if it would, this is Roald freaking Dahl, the master of children's literature.
I wasn't expecting Esio Trot to be so twisted though.
Why? I have no idea.
The Witches exists and it's fucking terrifying.
Scarred for life.
Honestly.
So i shouldn't have been so surprised when such a deceitful little tale started to unfold within the pages of the innocent looking book my sister demanded i read this afternoon.
(Apparently it makes me 'weird' for not having read any. Shrug)
Good old, Dahl.
