My dear young fellow,' the Old-Green-Grasshopper said gently, 'there are a whole lot of things in this world of ours you haven't started wondering about yet.
James and the Giant Peach
Allen & Unwin, 1967.
First UK edition. 8vo. Laminated boards illustrated in colour. Black and white illustrations throughout by Michel Simeon. A very near fine copy, tiny rubs to the spine corners.
Originally published in 1961 in the USA, where it was illustrated by Nancy Ekholm Burkert, this is Roald Dahl's first novel for children, preceded only by the war-time RAF story The Gremlins. It is unusual to find such a beautiful copy of this fragile book.
