PAPERBACK
Author: Roald Dahl
Illustrator: Quentin Blake
Magical, mischievous and bursting with imagination, The BFG is one of the most beloved stories by legendary storyteller Roald Dahl, beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake.
One moonlit night, young Sophie can’t sleep. As she peers out of her bedroom window, she sees something extraordinary - a giant wandering the streets.
Before she can hide, Sophie is snatched from her bed and carried away to Giant Country.
But luckily for Sophie, the giant who took her isn’t like the others. He is the Big Friendly Giant, or BFG - a gentle giant who drinks frothy frobscottle, eats horrible-tasting snozzcumbers, and spends his nights collecting dreams to deliver to children.
Unfortunately, not all giants are friendly. The other giants in Giant Country are huge, greedy and terrifying, and they love nothing more than hunting for “human beans” to eat. When Sophie and the BFG discover their dreadful plan to travel the world gobbling up children, they realise they must stop them.
But how can one small girl and one friendly giant defeat a whole gang of monstrous giants? With wit, courage and a little help from the Queen of England, Sophie and the BFG hatch an unforgettable plan.
