Books by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

For the first time in a decade, Willy Wonka, the reclusive and
eccentric chocolate maker, is opening his doors to the public--well,
five members of the public to be exact. The lucky five who find a
Golden Ticket in their Wonka chocolate bars will receive a private
tour of the factory, given by Mr. Wonka himself. For young Charlie
Bucket, this a dream come true. And, when he finds a dollar bill in
the street, he can't help but buy two Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious
Fudgemallow Delights--even though his impoverished family could
certainly use the extra dollar for food. But as Charlie unwraps the
second chocolate bar, he sees the glimmer of gold just under the
wrapper! The very next day, Charlie, along with his unworthy fellow
winners Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Augustus
Gloop, steps through the factory gates to discover whether or not the
rumors surrounding the Chocolate Factory and its mysterious owner are
true. What they find is that the gossip can't compare to the
extraordinary truth, and for Charlie, life will never be the same
again. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, another unforgettable
masterpiece from the legendary Roald Dahl, never fails to delight,
thrill, and utterly captivate.

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator

Picking right up where Charlie and the Chocolate Factory left off,
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator continues the adventures of
Charlie Bucket, his family, and Willy Wonka, the eccentric candy
maker. As the book begins, our heroes are shooting into the sky in a
glass elevator, headed for destinations unknown. What follows is
exactly the kind of high-spirited magical madness and mayhem we've all
come to expect from Willy Wonka and his creator Roald Dahl. The
American space race gets a send-up, as does the President, and
Charlie's family gets a second chance at childhood. Throw in the
Vermicious Knids, Gnoolies, and Minusland and we once again witness
pure genius.

In the tradition of The Adventures of Peter Rabbit, this is a "garden
tale" of farmer versus vermin, or vice versa. The farmers in this case
are a vaguely criminal team of three stooges: "Boggis and Bunce and
Bean / One fat, one short, one lean. / These horrible crooks / So
different in looks / Were nonetheless equally mean." Whatever their
prowess as poultry farmers, within these pages their sole objective is
the extermination of our hero--the noble, the clever, the Fantastic
Mr. Fox. Our loyalties are defined from the start; after all, how
could you cheer for a man named Bunce who eats his doughnuts stuffed
with mashed goose livers? As one might expect, the farmers in this
story come out smelling like ... well, what farmers occasionally do
smell like.
This early Roald Dahl adventure is great for reading aloud to three-
to seven-year-olds, who will be delighted to hear that Mr. Fox keeps
his family one step ahead of the obsessed farmers. When they try to
dig him out, he digs faster; when they lay siege to his den, he
tunnels to where the farmers least expect him--their own larders! In
the end, Mr. Fox not only survives, but also helps the whole community
of burrowing creatures live happily ever after. With his usual
flourish, Dahl evokes a magical animal world that, as children, we
always knew existed, had we only known where or how to look for it.

The Witches

This Roald Dahl classic tells the scary, funny and imaginative tale of
a seven-year-old boy who has a run-in with some real-life witches! "In
fairy tales witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks and
they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale. This is about
REAL WITCHES. REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very
much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work
in ordinary jobs. That is why they are so hard to catch." Witches, as
our hero learns, hate children. With the help of a friend and his
somewhat-magical grandmother, our hero tries to expose the witches
before they dispose of him.

The Twits

Mr. and Mrs. Twit are two of the most disgusting, nasty, and horrid
characters in children's literature, from their repulsive looks (the
story opens with a long, detailed description of Mr. Twit's unkempt
beard) to the mean and horrible tricks they play on one another (Mrs.
Twit enjoys hiding her glass eyeball in unexpected places and lacing
the spaghetti with worms; Mr. Twit works for weeks to convince his
wife that she has "The Shrinks"). Callow captures the dry humor of
Dahl's narrative voice perfectly, and creates appropriately nasty
voices for Mr. and Mrs. Twit as well. Unfortunately, the thick accents
and loud tones of these voices often mean that the dialogue is
difficult to understand. Still, Callow's able narration brings Dahl's
ironic sensibilities to life, and a sense of satisfaction is
inevitable when the terrible Twits come to an appropriately gruesome
end.

Danny the Champion of the World

"My father, without the slightest doubt, was the most marvelous and
exciting father any boy ever had." Danny feels very lucky. He adores
his life with his father, living in a gypsy caravan, listening to his
stories, tending their gas station, puttering around the workshop, and
occasionally taking off to fly home-built gas balloons and kites. His
father has raised him on his own, ever since Danny's mother died when
he was four months old. Life is peaceful and wonderful... until he
turns 9 and discovers his father's one vice. Soon Danny finds himself
the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against
nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they
pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world.
Danny is right up to Roald Dahl's impishly brilliant standards. An
intense and beautiful father-son relationship is balanced with
sublegal high jinks that will have even the most rigid law-abider
rooting them on. Dahl's inimitable way with words leaves the reader
simultaneously satisfied and itching for more.

Revolting Rhymes

In Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes, illus. in full color by Quentin
Blake, originally published in 1982, the author puts his distinctive
satirical spin on six traditional tales including "Snow White" ("From
now on, Queen, you're Number Two. Snow White is prettier than you!"
says the Magic Mirror) and "The Three Little Pigs." Danny the Champion
of the World, originally published in 1975, also illus. with
pen-and-ink drawings by Blake, tells the story of a nine-year-old boy
learning the art of poaching at his beloved father's knee (the BFG
also makes an appearance here).

My Uncle Oswald

The nameless narrator has revealed snippets of the lovable, lascivious
Uncle Oswald's life in other collections, but this is the only
novel--brief though it is--dedicated solely to the diaries of "the
greatest fornicator of all time." Inspired by stories of the
aphrodisiac powers of the Sudanese blister beetle, the palpable
seductiveness of the lovely Yasmin Howcomely, and the scientific
know-how of Professor A. R. Woresley, Uncle Oswald anticipates the
concept of the Nobel sperm bank by some 40 years, flimflamming crowned
heads, great artists, and eccentric geniuses into making "donations."
The life of a commercial sperm broker has a few surprises even for a
sophisticated bon vivant, and Dahl manages his signature
sting-in-the-tail ending even in one of his lightest comic works.

James and the Giant Peach

When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible
rhinoceros accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts,
Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. After three years he becomes "the saddest
and loneliest boy you could find." Then one day, a wizened old man in
a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to
reverse his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the
crystals on his aunts' withered peach tree, he sets the adventure in
motion. From the old tree a single peach grows, and grows, and grows
some more, until finally James climbs inside the giant fruit and rolls
away from his despicable aunts to a whole new life. James befriends an
assortment of hilarious characters, including Grasshopper, Earthworm,
Miss Spider, and Centipede--each with his or her own song to sing.
