'The BFG' is one of Roald Dahl's most popular children's novels, about a young orphan girl who is taken by the Big Friendly Giant.
Illustrated with in-text illustrations throughout by Quentin Blake. Blake is well beloved for his iconic illustrations of Dahl's novels, the two becoming synonymous.
Dahl is one of the most beloved children's writers of the twentieth century, known for his unsentimental and macabre children's novels, though he wrote extensively for adults too.
