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 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.
