La Sorcière du Placard aux Balais #[nn]

Adapted from Pierre Gripari's beloved work by Florence Dupré la Tour, this Gallimard release brings a wonderfully unsettling witch to life on its cover — a massive, shadowy creature with glowing eyes looming over a wide-eyed child surrounded by a cluster of small, colorful little monsters. The contrast between the enormous dark figure and the tiny, oddly cheerful critters makes for a cover that's equal parts creepy and charming. A treat for fans of French fantastique storytelling with a distinctly playful edge.
