About This Book

Six Roald Dahl favourites come together in this very special collection: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Danny the Champion of the World, George's Marvellous Medicine, The BFG and The Twits. Complete with fun and fascinating extra material offering a sneak peek into the wonderful world of Dahl, this is a collection to treasure forever.

Our Review

This collection gathers six of Roard Dahl's most iconic tales, plunging readers into a world where chocolate factories are run by eccentric geniuses, giants capture dreams, and grandparents receive alarmingly potent homemade remedies. The volume includes the complete adventures of Charlie Bucket, the whimsical friendship in The BFG, and the deliciously nasty antics of The Twits, all supplemented with bonus material that delves into Dahl's unique creative universe.

What makes this anthology stand out is its curation of stories that perfectly capture Dahl's signature blend of dark humor, moral justice, and linguistic playfulness, from gobblefunk to scrumdiddlyumptious new words. Young readers who relish clever children outsmarting grotesque adults and tales where nastiness receives its proper comeuppance will find endless satisfaction. This is a gateway collection that has the power to turn a casual reader into a lifelong Dahl enthusiast.
