Dealer Notes
A solid first edition of Roald Dahl’s masterpiece of modern children’s literature, preceding the UK edition by three years. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory introduced the world to one of Dahl’s most enduring characters, Willy Wonka, and his wacky & wonderful confectionary creations, as well as the Oompa-Loompas of course. The book went on to become Dahl’s most famous work, adapted for film successfully twice, starring Gene Wilder & Johnny Depp respectively as the chief music maker and dreamer of dreams...
