But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, our hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1964, the dark humor and cheerful gruesomeness of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory immediately endeared the book to children, making it an instant bestseller. Rarely has a tale of morality ever been more deliciously entertaining to read, as Roald Dahl’s story warns children and adults alike of the dangers of bad parenting, spoiling children, and self-indulgence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDahl drew inspiration for the story from his own childhood. In the 1920s, chocolate makers in England would frequently send samples to school children in exchange for their opinions on new products. Two of the largest competing chocolate companies, Cadbury and Rowntree, would send spies posing as employees to discover the other’s trade secrets. As a result, the companies became highly protective of their chocolate making process. It was a combination of this secrecy and the elaborate, often gigantic, machines in the factory that inspired the author to write his story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoald Dahl’s classic tale has been adapted into two major motion pictures, Willy Wonka \u0026amp; The Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). In 1971, Dahl wrote a sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, published in 1972.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARTIST EDITION\u003cbr\u003e7” x 10” trim size.\u003cbr\u003e220 Pages.\u003cbr\u003eLimited to 1250 copies.\u003cbr\u003eFull cloth, smyth-sewn binding with embossed cover.\u003cbr\u003eDust jacket resembling Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight candy bar wrapper (the only edition featuring the dust jacket).\u003cbr\u003eFull color throughout with over 50 color illustrations by Quentin Blake.\u003cbr\u003e72 additional illustrations from the artists who have illustrated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory through the years: Joseph Schindelman, Faith Jaques, Michael Foreman and Quentin Blake.\u003cbr\u003eOver 60 pages of bonus content including deleted chapters, an alternate ending, manuscript pages and handwritten notes from early drafts.\u003cbr\u003e1986 reply letter from Roald Dahl to Paul Suntup.\u003cbr\u003eNew exclusive introduction by Donald Sturrock, author of the critically acclaimed biography of Roald Dahl.\u003cbr\u003eNote by publisher Paul Suntup.\u003cbr\u003ePrinted offset on archival Cougar Natural.\u003cbr\u003eHoused in an illustrated paper covered slipcase featuring wraparound artwork by Sue Gent.\u003cbr\u003eSigned by Sue Gent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suntup Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53266536956177,"sku":"INV-00084","price":500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6140\/6993\/files\/P1010941_06a38ed0-ce52-4a34-9376-0528e8c70f5a.png?v=1779257014"},{"product_id":"pink-fairy-2007","title":"Pink Fairy Book, The - Andrew Lang - Folio Society - 2007 1st Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePink Fairy Book, The - Andrew Lang - Folio Society - 2007 1st Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike New\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pink fairy book, edited by Andrew Lang, with an introduction by A.S.

St. Nicholas fills the stockings, lays a finger aside of his nose, and departs wishing a happy Christmas to all. The poem fixes the names of the reindeer and the look of the gift-bringer.
