Groosham Grange is a school of witchcraft as David, expelled from public school and newly arrived on Skull Island, discovers. An hilarious spoof-a sort of literary burlesque, it speeds along at full tilt from page to page. The outrageousness of much of the humour will ensure its instant appeal-especially with Lower School boys. The unexpected ending should warn every unreasonable parent to curb her/his behaviour.
