Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was one of the best-loved storytellers of the twentieth century, the author of children’s books that have enchanted generations and of macabre short stories for adults that made him a master of the unexpected. This handsome fifteen-volume set was published in 1991 in a limited edition of 500 numbered copies to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birth, the year after his death, gathering his most beloved books, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach to Matilda and The BFG, together with his memoirs Boy and Going Solo, illustrated by Quentin Blake and others. Dahl’s stories have been adapted into some of the most successful films for children ever made, among them Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr Fox, and Steven Spielberg’s The BFG, and his books continue to sell in the tens of millions around the world.
