generations.
One of TIME MAGAZINE's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time
After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a
rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and
Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic
crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The
peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big
as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized
friends--Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the
stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!
Roald Dahl is the author of numerous classic children's stories
including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, and
many more!

mature themes like death and hope." --TIME Magazine
