About this deal

The mixed media composition uses cut paper and real-life objects to create a new world for the reader to envision while reading the books, and also includes imagery that hints at details from the sories.

This newly-illustrated edition of an avowed children's favorite has all the makings of a classic match-up: Milne had Shepard, Carroll had Tenniel, and now Dahl has Smith.It was made into the 1996 film produced by Tim Burton and Denise Di Novi, directed by Henry Selick, starring Paul Terry as James. He has won many major prizes for illustration, including the Kate Greenaway Medal (1980) and the Red House Children's Book Award (1981) for Mister Magnolia. Blind stamped portrait inside a wreath on the front cover and the Knopf logo blind stamped on the bottom right hand corner of the back cover.

In May 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Taika Waititi, the Oscar-winning director, worked with the Roald Dahl Story Company to publish audio-visual readings of the book. I was going to try and avoid dark because there’s so much of it in my portfolio, but it just wasn’t working without it. The book is the TRUE FIRST EDITION WITH ALL THE FIRST ISSUE POINTS with the five line colophon "Bound by H. 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. Through a series of peculiar and magical happenings, James finds himself in a giant peach with a bunch of friendly giant insects for travelling companions.As you know, I plan to do the popsugar reading challenge, so James and the Giant Peach fits into the prompt that says ‘read a book with a food item in the title’. The internal pages are crisp, bright and clean for this title with no writing, no marks, no scribbles, no stains, no handling marks and no foxing. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. Their travels are accompanied by much humour and plenty of ridiculous rhymes along the way in true Roald Dahl style. Your sibling becomes your first best friend and closest confidant but also your first competitor and fiercest critic.
