  5. Roald Dahl's books were my favorites when I was young (and I've reread a few of them more recently just to make sure they were still great). I love Quentin Blake's illustrations, too, it would definitely be fun to have one of these.

  6. This makes my heart so happy.

    My Roald Dahl books were among the earthly possessions that made the cut when I moved from Indonesia to Holland. They sit on my bookshelf like wise, kooky old friends. (:

  10. These are so fantastic! HAve you read the Roald Dahl biography "Storyteller", by Donald Sturrock? A fascinating life, though often difficult.

  12. Oh my gosh - this is the best. I know what is going in my sister's stocking this year! We used to read The Witches together. Did you ever see the movie with Anjelica Huston? She was perfect for the role and so scary! :)

  14. I am a huge Roald Dahl fan but never thought the Quentin Blake illustrations suited his work. All my editions have other illustrators like Donald Chaffin's Fantastic Mr. Fox here...

  16. I was totally going to order a bunch of RD books on amazon since you've been mentioning them lately, and then I happened upon the Ronald Dahl jackpot at my local thrift store. I got BFG, Matilda & a big Willy Wonka book. So excited to read them to my kid!

  33. I still remember my kindergarten teacher reading us James & The Giant Peach.

    Incidentally, have you read Toby "Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site"? It's my 3 year old's new favorite book & has become a bed time must. I think Toby would love :)

  45. The illustrations in the Roald Dahl books are by Quentin Blake - I couldn't help notice that he is not been given credit! Sure they are from Roald Dahl stories, but shouldn't the artist be getting the acknowledgment here? just a thought...

    Beautiful collection though :)
