Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Audiobook (1971) disappointed Dahl to the point that he refused to have a film version produced. Unlike its predecessor, this Audiobook has never been adapted to film. in 1972, and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin in 1973. In 1999 he became the first ever Children’s Laureate and in 2013 he was knighted for services to illustration.This story was first published in the United States by Alfred A. As an author he has written and illustrated a number of bestselling children’s books including The Green Shipand Angelica Sprocket’s Pockets. One of Britain’s finest living illustrators, Quentin Blake has put pictures to more than three hundred books and was Roald Dahl’s favourite illustrator. He remains the world’s number one storyteller. He was also the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG and many more brilliant stories. Roald Dahl was a spy, ace fighter pilot, chocolate historian and medical inventor. With brand new, bold cover designs and Blake’s quintessential pen and ink drawings these are classic editions for every generation to enjoy.
Now the magic of Roald Dahl is brought to life in these new illustrated paperback editions from the imagination of Quentin Blake, Roald Dahl’s own favourite illustrator. Join Charlie as he travels to the brand new American Space Hotel, meets the murderous, bloodthirsty Vermicious Knids (an alien race who just happen to be rather keen on the word ‘scram’) and finds out what happens if you take too much Wonka-Vite. Waterstones gives you a one way ticket for the Great Glass Elevator. Buckle your seatbelts, hold your horses, hold on to something, anyway this is going to be a very bumpy ride! Now as you will no doubt know by now, no trip with Mr Willy Wonka is ever ordinary and for the Bucket family, heading off into space, this is no exception. Where did we leave little Charlie Bucket and his family? Ah yes, that’s right, when we last saw them they were flying high above the city in Mr Wonka’s flying glass elevator. “No, no!” Mr Woka yelled back “We’ve got to go up!”
