A propos de cet article

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author in the year following publication on the half-title verso, "To Edna with love Roald Dahl, 14 June 1981". Dahl wrote this wicked tale to counter the typical saccharine stories he thought flooded the children's book market. His editor responded, "I like it VERY MUCH. You're right: what we want (or should want) for these little ones is stuff with meat, not the yuchy [sic] sweetly pretty material we're exposed to" (Sturrock, p. 504). Donald Sturrock, Storyteller: The Authorized Biography of Roald Dahl, 2010. Octavo. Line drawings by Quentin Blake. Original red boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Light foxing to top edge; unclipped jacket a little creased, spine sunned, panels bright: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
