Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Smith, Lane (illustratore). From the bestselling author ofCharlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG! Roald Dahl was a champion of the underdog and all things littlein this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centered aunts. How James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order. You will never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insectsa ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred gorgeous shoes. Their adventures aboard a luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. This happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know. And Lane Smith's endearingly funny illustrations are a perfect match for the text. "All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight."Kirkus Reviews "A stunning book,to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy."The Chicago Tribune "The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time.[it] may well become a classic."San Francisco Chronicle. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First UK edition, first impression. Dahl's first novel for children was originally published in the US by Alfred A. Knopf in 1961. Described as "rude, naughty, anti-adult, creepy, and sometimes cruel" (ODNB), it was adapted into a film of the same name in 1996, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Musical. An early advert for the US edition appeared in the New York Times on 26 October 1961: "one is tempted to say that not since Alice has there been such a wonderland. The difference is that James is all boy and what transpires in the story is anything but Victorian". The New York Times, 26 October 1961. Octavo. Original pictorial laminated boards, spine and front cover lettered in black. No dust jacket issued. Black and white illustrations throughout by Michel Simeon. Head of spine and top left corner of front cover chipped, some lifting to laminate as usual, minor foxing to endpapers: a very good copy.
