Editor's Notes

A debonair and quick-witted fox who lifts livestock from under the noses of his cruel and cerebrally challenged neighbours … what child wouldn’t be enthralled by this story? A classic Roald Dahl romp, Fantastic Mr Fox is joined by Danny the Champion of the World and George’s Marvellous Medicine in the latest collection in our best-selling series. With a cast of eccentric characters embroiled in all manner of adventurous and unsavoury pursuits, there is no shortage of Dahl’s trademark peril, rudeness, awful antics and horrible humans, ensuring that he remains one of the most widely read and best-loved children’s authors.
This new collection joins the best-selling Set 1 and Set 2, and Dahl’s classic text has once again been paired with Quentin Blake’s original black-and-white ink drawings. They are so entwined with the stories that it would be a travesty to separate them, so they have been beautifully reproduced, while Artistic Director of the Roald Dahl Foundation, Donald Sturrock, has written an exclusive new introduction. A heritage collector’s set with gorgeous cloth bindings and metallic printed endpapers, these books are, above all, designed to be read, shared and cherished by the most discerning literary critics … children.

About the Author

Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916 to Norwegian parents. During the Second World War he worked as a fighter pilot and diplomat and then settled into family life and a full-time writing career. He had some success as an author before making the transition to children’s fiction, writing books based on stories he made up for his own family. His first children’s book, James and the Giant Peach (1961), was published in America to limited acclaim. It wasn’t until his second book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, was published in 1964 that Dahl became better known and his books were published in the UK. He went on to experience phenomenal worldwide success, with his work being published in more than 40 languages, and is today considered to be one of the world’s greatest children’s authors. Roald Dahl died in Oxford in 1990.
