Product Information

Everyday after her mother left for bingo Matilda would walk down a busy highway to the library where she would devour book after book. Reread this as an adult with the above perspective and you will find a chilling tale of a child trying to create something better for herself than the toxic circumstances she was born into. It would seem, as a contrast to Ms Honey, that Dahl finds women acceptable only if they perform femininity in the “right” way. During his time in the role, he celebrated children's books and children's book illustration with a range of projects and exhibitions, and conceived the idea for the House of Illustration, the world's first centre dedicated to the art of illustration in all its forms.

Miss Honey is unsuccessful because the Headmistress of the school, Miss Trunchbull, refuses and believes Miss Honey is just trying to get rid of Matilda. This kind-hearted teacher instantly recognises Matilda’s intellect and is determined to help her, by pushing her ahead in her education. I also liked the description of Matilda settling in, cosy as can be with hot chocolate to engage in some bookworming (Though with a touch of envy I must say. The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look.
