Book Description

Publication Date: 6 Sep 2007

Matilda is one of Roald Dahl's most magical stories!

Matilda Wormwood's father is a mean crooked crook. And her mother's just plain stupid. They think Matilda is a nuisance who should watch more TV and read fewer books! But her lovely teacher Miss Honey thinks Matilda is a genius. Matilda has a few extraordinary tricks up her sleeve, so her horrible parents and even more horrible headmistress had better watch out.

"A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero" David Walliams

***Adapted for stage in 2011 into an award-winning musical by Tim Minchin.***

Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after "a monumental bash on the head", sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. Roald Dahl died in 1990.

Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved children's illustrators and it's impossible now to think of Roald Dahl's writings without imagining Quentin Blake's illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing 5 Mar 2012

By Miss C. Thomson

Format:Paperback

I can honestly say, hand on heart, that this story changed my life. As a child I was not even remotely interested in books, not one bit. I would dig for worms or play Cinderella but sit and read or be read to, no thank you. I can remember as though it was yesterday (and not 20 odd years ago) it was pouring rain - the type that even puts off the meanest of dogs - so there was no chance we were visiting the beach, instead my father sat me down with my rabbit, we curled up on bean bags with blankets and he read me Matilda. I have read everyday since, the biggest and fullest room in my house is my library (I have thousands of books and no space to house new adventures) but I will never stop and I can thank Roald Dahl for my lifelong obsession with reading.

This book is beautifully presented and a true treasure, exactly what you should expect with the name Roald Dahl on the front cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome!!!!!!!! 20 Oct 2000

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

Matilda is a masterpiece for me.Roald Dahl makes reading easy by using simple english as a medium.It makes it is suitable for anybody from any range of ages.The story is absolutely interesting.Although I think this story is supposed to be a funny story, but in a unique way it delivered a massage that every parents should know.Between work and everything,child is a special gift.We should charish it.I recomended this book for anybody that want to start reading thick story books.The english is simple and the book will make you keep on reading from cover to cover.I think whoever buy it will find it worth it.Actually Matilda is one of my favourite.And the character that I like in this book,is the salamder.Enjoy your reading!
