This special offer of Threebies of Roald Dahl includes James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevatorand The BFG.
James and the Giant Peach
James's aunts, Spiker and Sponger, are always calling him names. They beat him and starve him and make his life a misery. If only his parents hadn't been eaten by an angry escaped rhinoceros, he wouldn't be in this mess. But one day he meets a mysterious man who gives him a bag of magic crocodile tongues and so begins the adventure of his dreams.
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
Mr Wonka might be a genius with chocolate, but Charlie and his family don't trust his flying skills one bit. Especially when the thing he's flying is a glass elevator and it's zooming out of control into the stratosphere. But life is never dull with Mr Wonka, and if he gets them into some terrible scrapes, he's sure to be able to get them out...isn't he?
The BFG
The BFG uses some extraordinary words, but then he's no ordinary giant. He's the kindest giant you could hope to meet and he turns out to be Sophie's best friend. The trouble is, not all giants are quite as friendly and Sophie and The BFG set out to rid the world of the Blood buttler, the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher and other nasty giants, for ever.

In the 1960s he began to write children's books; his first, James and the Giant Peach, was published in 1961. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the tale of a poor urchin was published in 1964. It became Dahl's best known book and was made into a feature film in 1971 (starring Gene Wilder as Wonka and Peter Ostrum as Charlie) and again in 2005 (with Johnny Depp as Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie). Dahl's many other books include Danny The Champion of the World (1975), The BFG (1982) and Matilda (1988). |
