"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!"
"I don't really no y I paid for it I no it word for word as a kid had two copy's and it was my fav bed time story now I'm passing it on to my kid"
"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 has to be one of my all time favourite books from childhood, and now I get to share it with my daughter. Great story, wonderful descriptive funny, Spike Milligan at his best."
"I had forgotten how much fun this story was until I read it to my 6yr old daughter. A great story for kids and adults alike and the pictures are great. Very funny characters and lots of silliness make a great read. A true classic that will be well read in our house."
