Editor's Notes
 
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.

About the Author

Roald Dahl is the UK’s No.1 storyteller of all time. Before he became a writer, he was a spy and a fighter pilot in World War II. One of his first moments of inspiration came when he was at boarding school, when a local chocolate factory invited pupils to trial new chocolate bars – 35 years later, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was published. He wrote lots more brilliant stories, many from his writing hut in his back garden in Great Missenden; from Sophie’s adventures with the BFG and James’ journey on the Giant Peach, to Matilda’s brilliant bravery against The Trunchbull. Each of his stories is an unexpected adventure to the weirdest, wonkiest and most wonderful worlds, that continue to enthral generations of kids and adults alike.
