Dahl's classic children's tale of a young boy's fantastical revenge against his bullying grandmother. Sir Quentin Blake's artistic contributions to Dahl's most popular children's novels have become synonymous with the stories themselves with his illustrations for 'George' receiving particular praise for skillfully softening the author's harsher story elements as pointed out thus by Dahl biographer Jeremy Treglown "Blake lightens things by visually reminding the reader both how small George is and as he wanders around the house looking for ingredients for his medicine how lonely and innocent. His actions come across as prompted more by curiosity than cruelty". Roald Dahl: A Biography p 229. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
