Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression.
In the publisher's price unclipped dust wrapper.
A fantastic copy of this award winning novel, complete with the charming illustrations by Quentin Blake.
An immediately popular work, 'Matilda' won the Children's Book Award in the year of its publication.
'Matilda' is one of Dahl's best-known works, telling the story of an extremely literate child who lives in a home where her parents do not appreciate her. Faced with a number of challenges, Matilda discovers that she has an extraordinary psychic power which she uses to save her school and teacher, Miss Honey.
Dahl published this book following his success with other titles such as 'The BFG' and 'The Witches'. It was later adapted into the 1996 directed by and starring Danny DeVito, and the RSC's successful stage musical.
