1943réf. 103458New York: Random House 1943. First edition of Dahl's rare first book with 14 vibrant full-page illustrations by Walt Disney Productions. Quarto original half cloth pictorial endpapers. Presentation copy inscribed by Walt Disney on the half-title page "To Joan With Best Wishes Walt Disney." In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Dahl was sent to Washington in 1942 as an assistant air attache for the British Embassy. After having a story published anonymously in the Saturday Evening Post he was encouraged by C. S. Forester. He produced The Gremlins a children's story expanding on a mythical creature enshrined for years in RAF lore notwithstanding Dahl's claims to have invented the word and sent it to Sidney Bernstein the head of the British Information Service who sent it on to Walt Disney. Disney decided to make it into a movie at one point bringing Dahl to Hollywood to work on the screenplay. The story was published in Cosmopolitan in December of 1942 and as a book by Random House six months later. The film project however was sidelined and has never been produced. The story was received positively: Eleanor Roosevelt read it to her grandchildren and invited Dahl to the White House. The 1984 film Gremlins produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Joe Dante is loosely inspired by Dahl's characters featuring evil and destructive monsters which mutate from small furry creatures.
