The BFG

Master storyteller Roald Dahl is by far the most popular children's writer of the late twentieth century, and The BFG (the Big Friendly Giant), recently adapted for the stage with great success, is set to become a claasic of its period (it was first published in 1982) This story of a vegetarian giant who disapproves of eating children has all the Dahl ingredients of humour, irreverence and verve that have made readers of countless youngsters. The humour is perfectly matched by Quentin Blake's irresistible drawing.

Reviews

Good for someone who has just learned to read and wants to tackle a real book

—— The Spectator

An affectionate, lively adventure . . . Will appeal to any child who's ever nagged for a pet

—— Mail on Sunday

A delightful story which is not too demanding yet not too repetitive

—— Junior Bookshelf

A delightful story with pace and good characterisation. Corgi Pups are perfect for those readers just embarking on "real" books

—— Books in Schools
