Description:
London: Jonathan Cape, 1988. First edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 10" by 6". None. A fine, first edition copy of Roald Dahl's famous children's novel 'Matilda'. A fantastic copy of this award winning novel. 'Matilda' won the Children's Book Award in the year of its publication. 'Matilda' is one of Dahl's best-known works. The titular character is a fantastic, extremely literate child who lives in a home where her parents do not appreciate her. She is a child prodigy, who discovers that she has an extraordinary psychic power which she uses to save her school and teacher, Miss Honey. Dahl published this book following his success with other titles such as 'The BFG' and 'The Witches'. It was later adapted into the 1996 film starring Danny DeVito, and the RSC's successful stage musical. A fine example of this important work. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, excellent, with light bumping to the head and tail of spine. A few light marks to the head of… Read More

Description:
(New York): Viking Kestrel, 1988. Fine in fine jacket.. Lovely first US edition of Dahl's novel, still beloved by contemporary children and nostalgic adults alike. A model for child prodigies, a wistful dream for harried schoolteachers, a perfect librarian's pet and the avenging angel of the elementary grades - Matilda Wormwood is an icon. Like all of Dahl's books, MATILDA pops at the seams with fury and spite, and like his best books, it is furious and spiteful about the right things: hateful parents, abuse of authority, all the petty cruelties and humiliations of childhood. It is an explicitly pro-book-reading text, and what it is for goes hand in hand with what it is against: repression, injustice, and television, television, television. Despite all that rage, on the page and essentially inseparable from the page, the inscrutable operations of Nemesis posthumously rewarded the famously adaptation-hating author with not one but two highly successful adaptations of his last great work for those who… Read More

Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. pp. [vi], 7-240; with lively illustrations throughout by Quentin Black, printed in monochrome. A lovely near fine square copy with just the merest hint of foxing (hardly worth mentioning) to the top edge and with a miniscule bump to the bottom left-hand corner of the back board.
