Review:
Roald Dahl's classic children's novel is now a motion picture from The Walt Disney Company, and this version of James and the Giant Peach grew out of the making of the movie. Lane Smith, conceptual artist for the film, has given James and company a new and arresting look, much in the style of his many highly regarded books, such as Math Curse and The Stinky Cheeseman. Karey Kirkpatrick, the film's screenwriter, created a text that is true to the spirit of Dahl's original, and deftly pulls young readers into the remarkable story. All in all, it's a peach of a book sure to be the pick of every child's bookshelf!
From the Publisher:
"The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic."
San Francisco Chronicle
San Francisco Chronicle
"This is a stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy."
Chicago Sunday Tribune
"Here is a broad fantasy with all the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight."
Kirkus

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. Published by Puffin Books, London; 1996. This the first edition of Disney's version of the Roald Dahl classic tale about James Henry Trotter and is the picture book to accompany the Disney film.

The only flaw to speak of is some bumping to the spine ends and cover edges and corners, as is so common among books. Over all though, it is in love;y condition and would be a lovely copy to treasure and read. Seller Inventory # 211
