Imagination on steroids and never a dull moment in the re-read, several times, to my children and now to grandchildren. A classic indeed. Try it, even as an adult, if you have missed it as a child. But, beware, you will be checking for gobbling giants in the dark and when you find youself watching bubbles and wondering, know you are enslaved to Roald Dahl and his magic forever. Go now. And read it!
