Story
There are witches everywhere. Witches could be a cashier in a supermarket, a woman driving a fancy car, or even your own teacher. The only thing a witch cares about is squelching children. She hunts and squelches as many children as she possibly can. At least one a week. The Grand High Witch hates children most of all and plans to make every single one of you disappear. Only one boy and his grandmother can stop her. But if their plan fails, the Grand High Witch will frizzle them like fritters and then what will happen?

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Snigger, titter and laugh at their antics in this collection of irreverent and absurdly comic verse!

I remember it for primary school
good book i enjoyed it, it was easy to get though, the narrator did an excellent job. my only real issue is my personal morals have evolved since the last time I was read it. below is my feelings on the matter (spoilers ahead be warned)
I remember this book being read to me when I was in primary school and I found the concept of pheasant poaching fascinating back then. so to listen to it as an adult I realize Danny and his Dad are just a couple of thieves with good intentions who think its ok and noble to steal from someone they dislike who happens to have been successful in his business of manufacturing beer. Victor Hazel maybe rich but that doesn't make ok to steal from him. it was fun to hear this book again though.

On a long road trip our family were all engaged in the life of Danny, the relationship with his dad, the many characters we met along the way and how he was truly the Champion of the World. Such a well told story, clearly communicated, building each character and keeping the listener engrossed in the adventure. Would recommend for all the family and primary school age kids.
