Product Description
'In your wildest dreams you could not imagine that such things could happen to you . . . '
The dark, dreamlike story of starving Charlie Bucket, a mysterious chocolate factory owner and the golden ticket that transforms his existence is a masterpiece of exuberant invention. A fantasy of wishes fulfilled, a celebration of food and a gruesome morality tale, it is a modern fairy story: both delightful and cruel.
With a new Introduction by Sam Mendes
'I responded to it because it respected the fact that children can be adults.' Tim Burton
'To re-read Dahl is to be reminded of the very distinct and particular pleasures of childhood . . . And, of course, dreaming of the day that you will grow up and own a chocolate factory.' Lucy Mangan, Guardian
