Roald Dahl Treasury

Product Information

Overall, this is a good collection of stories and poems with a mix of fiction and non-fiction. It contains the full stories of "The Enormous Crocodile" and "The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me" along with various poems such as "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf" and "The Emperor's New Clothes". There are also many extracts from longer stories and novels such as The Twits, The BFG, and Matilda. Some of these samples are entertaining on their own but I do feel it helps to have an idea of the whole story when reading them.

Contains short stories, extracts from longer fiction, rhymes, and memoirs, as well as unpublished poetry and letters Included amongst excerpts from all of Dahl's children's books and some previously unpublished material, are unexpurgated colour reprints of The Enormous Crocodile, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, Esio Trot and The Minpins.

I loved it and I recently felt like reading more Dahl books. The beautiful blue cover captivated me and even though it was expensive I bought it. And I enjoyed it a lot. I liked the colourful illustrations. There were lovely retellings of fairy tales with twists and personal life stories from Dahl and short stories and poems from his other books. For some stories, it felt as if Dahl was there telling you the stories himself which I enjoyed immensely. I wish that his novels( such as Matilda, Charlie and the chocolate factory,...) were full and not in excerpts even though I know that would have made this already huge book, even bigger.

It will not last the night. But, oh my foes and oh my friends it gives a lovely light." If you decide to read this treasury, you will find yourself transported to a world of unknown witches, greedy foxes, giants houses, peaches, and more amazing places that you would never think up. I respect Dahl for his wonderful imagination and terrific writing abilities. Finally, as an adult, I read through the entire book. By this time, I have read most of the novels/novellas featured in this book so I had a better handle on the extracts provided.

His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. The book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made, and published in 1943. Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach. urn:lcp:roalddahltreasur0000dahl_m9j6:epub:8d557305-a079-4408-ba51-209e0c2ee5ab Foldoutcount 0 Identifier roalddahltreasur0000dahl_m9j6 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t2d891w85 Invoice 1652 Isbn 0670877697 This article needs additional citations for verification.
