James and the Giant Peach
Allen & Unwin, 1967.
First UK edition. Laminated boards illustrated in colour. Black and white illustrations throughout by Michel Simeon. A very near fine copy, uncommonly sharp with very little wear. Slight loss of laminate to upper left corner of the upper cover, light paper marks to upper right.
Roald Dahl's first novel for children, preceded only by the war-time RAF story The Gremlins. It is unusual to find such a beautiful copy of this fragile book.
