'The Roald Dahl Treasury' is a wonderful collection by and about Roald Dahl, the great storytelling genius.
Four themed sections - Animals; Magic; Family, Friends and Foes; and Matters of Importance - introduce some of Dahl's best-loved characters, from Willy Wonka to the BFG, from the Witches to the Twits, from James to Matilda. In each you will find complete stories, poems, memoirs and letters, as well as some unpublished poetry and letters.
'The Roald Dahl Treasury' is beautifully illustrated in full colour by Quentin Blake, as well as by leading artists such as Raymond Briggs, Babette Cole, Posy Simmonds and Ralph Steadman.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it,
Roald Dahl told his readers. You will find a touch of magic on every page of this sumptuous book. It is the perfect gift for all lovers of Roald Dahl, and for all those who have yet to discover his magic.
The Roald Dahl Treasury
This is a beautiful book, perfect for all Roald Dahl fans. I actually received this book as a gift when I was about 12 years old, and still have it and enjoy flicking through the pages. Not only does this contain excerpts from most of his children's titles (plus the full text of a few of his shorter stories), but also previously unpublished letters, poems, and fantastic little quirky insights into the man behind the stories. This is a beautifully presented book, I can't recommend it highly enough. Reviewed by 52mm.
