About the Item
A fine first edition of Roald Dahl's beloved children's novel about a boy named George, who replaces his grandmother's medicine with a hazardous concoction.
The first edition, first impression, in the publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated throughout by Quentin Blake.
Dahl's novel follows George Kranky, an eight-year-old boy who concocts his own miracle elixir to replace his tyrannical grandmother's regular prescription medicine.
In 2020, a team of British researchers performed a toxicological investigation into the potion and all thirty-four of its ingredients, they summarised with: 'the overall outcome for Grandma would be fatal catastrophic physiological collapse'.
In the publisher's original cloth binding, with price unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, fine. Dust wrapper exceptionally bright. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright.
