Author: Roald Dahl

Fantastical, funny and wonderfully imaginative, JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH is a classic adventure from legendary storyteller Roald Dahl, brought to life with iconic illustrations by Quentin Blake.
Poor James Henry Trotter has a miserable life. After losing his parents, he is forced to live with his two dreadful aunts - Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker - who are cruel, selfish and terribly unkind.
But one day, something extraordinary happens in the garden. A peach begins to grow on the old tree… and it doesn’t stop. It grows bigger and bigger and BIGGER, until it becomes the size of a house!
Curious and brave, James climbs inside the enormous fruit - and discovers a secret world filled with seven remarkable new friends: Miss Spider, the Old-Green-Grasshopper, the Centipede, the Earthworm, the Ladybird, the Glowworm and the Silkworm.
Soon the giant peach breaks free from the tree and rolls away, launching James and his insect companions on an unforgettable journey across land and sea - full of danger, excitement and extraordinary discoveries.
