A wonderful collection for Dahl devotees to treasure as a
keepsake, as well as a superb introduction to Dahl for those
children if any exist who have not yet read any of his
work.
The Roald Dahl Treasury brings together some of the most dazzling
moments in the work of this extraordinary writer. Divided into four
parts: Animals; Magic; Family, Friends and Foes; and Matters of
Importance, it includes complete picture tales; excerpts from
Dahl’s longer stories; poetry some previously unpublished; and
autobiographical material and letters -- some written as a young
boy to his mother.
Outstanding artwork is a feature of the book; there’s Quentin
Blake, of course, but other illustrious children’s illustrators --
Raymond Briggs, Posy Simmons, Ralph Steadman, Patrick Benson,
Charlotte Voake and Babette Cole -- are in there too.
