Product details

‘If my books can help children become readers, then I feel I have accomplished something important’
  1. Roald Dahl
Are you ready to experience Roald Dahl’s weird and wonderful razzwizzling adventures? With a cast of rumbunctious characters that includes a ‘great big greedy nincompoop’, a couple of ‘grumpy old grunions’ and a spiteful aunt who is like a ‘great white soggy overboiled cabbage’, these delightfully darksome stories are full of gruesome goings-on and raucous retribution. The first set in a gorgeous new Folio series, these cloth-bound editions of perennial favourites James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Twits will delight adults and children alike. Each book is beautifully illustrated with every one of Quentin Blake’s brilliantly imagined black-and-white drawings, while the bindings feature iconic characters from the stories. Dahl’s biographer Donald Sturrock introduces the books, which are presented in a screen-printed slipcase with a design that will complement the series. The Roald Dahl Collection (Set 2) is also available and includes The BFG, The Witches and Matilda.‘Whipped cream isn’t whipped cream at all if it hasn’t been whipped with whips, just like poached eggs isn’t poached eggs unless it’s been stolen in the dead of the night.’

I had read all the books in this order many times before. I ordered the three sets just for the joy of holding in my hands these superb quality books with the beautiful artwork by Quentin Blake.

Nicely bound, great quality. Not read yet but was informed it is the original classic form i.e. not the edited version for the easily offended woke brigade. Very happy to showcase this set on my bookshelf and looking forward to rereading these tales from my childhood. Knocked off one star due to the price - £20 too expensive in my opinion.
