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.

First Dark Horse edition, first printing; a facsimile reviving the author's first book, which had previously only been published in the American (1943) and British (1944) editions. The work was originally intended as a promotional device for a feature-length Disney animation which was abandoned before completion. In his preface, Disney historian Leonard Maltin outlines the project's fascinating history. The production had cost Walt Disney $50,000 at the time of cancellation. Part of the difficulties laid in establishing copyright, as Dahl was at that time serving in the RAF where "gremlins" were traditionally blamed for mechanical failures. "It didn't take long for the name to become part of common language. If a book or pamphlet had typographical errors in it, one could always blame it on Gremlins who gummed up the works. [But] this in no way discredits Dahl's charming story or his invention of the details surrounding their origins" (p. vi). In a deal with the British Air Ministry, Dahl gave the royalties to the RAF Benevolent Fund. Quarto. Original red pictorial boards lettered in black and yellow, illustrated endpapers. With publisher's wraparound band. No dust jacket issued. Illustrated in colour and black-and-white, mostly by the renowned Disney animator Bill Justice (1914-2011). A fine copy.

Roald Dahl was sent to Washington DC in 1942 as an assistant air attache for the British Embassy. After having a story published anonymously in the Saturday Evening Post, he was encouraged by C. S. Forester to pursue his writing talent. He then wrote The Gremlins, a children's story expanding on a mythical creature enshrined for years in RAF lore, although Dahl claims to have invented the word himself. He sent short story to Sidney Bernstein, the head of the British Information Service, who forwarded it on to Walt Disney.
