It has not been price clipped. The text blocks are slightly toned and a little foxed at the side and top edges. SIGNED to a bookplate on the front free endpaper by Dahl and without dedication. Accompanied by one of a limited edition of 360 (this being 21) published by the Roald Dahl Story Company of Dahl's manuscript for his alternate ending to the book. Designed by Laura Coppolaro, the very good folder is a little stained and much of the string is missing. This is exceptionally scarce The "alternate ending" for Roald Dahl's The Witches exists in a special 360-copy edition of the book, containing a version where the hero stays a mouse and he and his grandmother become witch hunters. In this version, after the witches are defeated, he and his grandmother use the Grand High Witch's machine to find and eliminate witches world-wide, accepting his short mouse life-span to continue the fight. This is a variation of the book's original, darker ending, which differs from the happier conclusion of the 1990 movie adaptation.
