"The undisputed master-storyteller ... Artful, funny, profoundly
inventive and touched with the blessed knowledge of how to tap the
basest in a child''s nature and lead it towards the best" Daily Mail
"Roald Dahl invented a new kind of literature for children full of
the awful and gross - an exagerration of the everyday underpinned
by serious observations about our best and worst inclinations"

內容簡介: |
The Wormwoods think their daughter, Matilda, is nothing better
than a scab, to be flicked away at the earliest opportunity. But
unbeknown to her ghastly parents, Matilda is no ordinary child -
she is a genius! When she realises the extent of her psychic powers
and intelligence she starts to use them to hilarious effect to get
revenge on her parents and the terrifying head teacher Miss
Trunchbull.
