BILLY AND THE MINPINS by Roald Dahl
PAPERBACK
Author: Roald Dahl
Illustrator: Quentin Blake
Step through the garden gate and into a world where the ordinary rules no longer apply…
BILLY AND THE MINPINS is one of Roald Dahl’s most magical and mischievous adventures - a st
ory bursting with courage, imagination, and the thrill of doing exactly what you’ve been told not to do.
Little Billy knows he must never enter the dark forest beyond his garden. But temptation is a powerful thing, and curiosity soon leads him deep into a hidden world high among the trees. There, he discovers the Minpins: tiny, secretive people who live far above the forest floor, their children no bigger than matchsticks, their lives ruled by fear of a monstrous predator known only as the GRUNCHER.
As danger gallops ever closer, Billy must think fast, be brave, and prove that size has nothing to do with heroism. With soaring imagination, delicious suspense, and moments of laugh-out-loud wonder, this story celebrates bravery, kindness, and the extraordinary power of a clever mind.
Updated in 2022 for young independent readers, this edition keeps all the magic of Dahl’s storytelling while making it even more accessible for confident early readers. Perfect for children who love adventure, mythical creatures, and stories where the smallest heroes make the biggest difference.
A timeless tale that begs to be read aloud - and read again!
