Published in 1943 and long unavailable, Dark Horse Books is proud to present this landmark book from the author of such beloved tales as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach and Matilda. Digitally restored, this remarkable presentation of Dahl's classic story, lavishly illustrated by the artists of the Walt Disney Studios, will delight readers of all ages! The Gremlins is the story of Gus, a British World War II fighter pilot, who during the Battle of Britain turned to look out on the wing of his plane only to see an amazing sight: a little man, no more than six inches tall with horns growing from his head, drilling a hole in the plane's wing. Gus was the first man to ever see a Gremlin, and what happened after that would change the war, and the world, forever. Bought by Walt Disney to be produced as an animated motion picture (and considered to be the first story featuring the mythical airplane sabotaging creatures known as Gremlins), the project was ultimately shelved and is reprinted here for the first time in over 60 years.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. Walt Disney Productions (illustrateur). 1st Edition. A fine first edition thus of Roald Dahls book The Gremlins, in hardback covers with no dust jacket as published, published by Dark Horse in 2006. This fine unread book has red pictorial boards with titles in yellow and black on the front and black only on the spine with yellow end papers displaying the gremlins of the title. The tight, bright, book has no marks, bumps or writings over its 52 pages. This book is as new and has not been read. The copyright page shows the number line 1 through to 10 indicating the first edition thus. The price in US Dollars is shown on the back of the book. The cover illustration shows the gremlins fixing a Spitfire. This book written in 1942 was Roald Dahls first book, while he was a Flight Lieutenant in the RAF, on assignment to the British Embassy in Washington, after a period as a fighter pilot at the outbreak of the World War II in 1939. Walt Disney was enamored by the gremlins and was to turn it into a movie as recounted in some detail by Leonard Maltin in his introduction, but for various reasons the movie was never made. This book however features illustrations of the gremlins by the Walt Disney Studio artists, hence the subtitle The Lost Walt Disney Production about the Gremlins and the Royal Air Force. The book is in pristine condition. The original book published by Random House in 1943 is now very expensive, so this is cost effective way of obtaining the first book written by Roald Dahl. Multiple photos are available on the AbeBooks web site, including Gremlin Gus. Clear removable archival film protects the pictorial boards. N° de réf. du vendeur 000175
