Notes
Description
This delightful classic is available in a new edition illustrated by Lane Smith, who gave the critically-acclaimed movie its look. Dahl books have a dark side; that tone is set early on when James is orphaned, "his parents got eaten up (in full daylight, mind you, and on a crowded street) by an enormous angry rhinoceros which had escaped from the London zoo." James goes to live with his two strange aunts, accidentally drops some magic crystals by a tree causing a peach to grow to be the size of a house, and crawls inside. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away beginning a wonderful adventure.
