Songs and Verse
(Author) Roald DahlExuberant rhymes are an intrinsic part of the great appeal of Roald Dahl's books, and Songs and Verse is a joyful celebration of some of these magical moments. From the strange and scrumptious dishes enjoyed by James' centipede, to George and his marvellous medicine; from Augustus Gloop to the Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, there are many classics here, together with some previously unpublished treats. Packed into these pages are seven themed sections bursting with monsters, ghastly children, magical creatures, unpleasant adults and a few surprises. Quentin Blake, with whom Roald Dahl will always be linked, provides the opening illustrations for each section, together with the foreword to this book. Songs and Verse is illustrated by an international and award-winning line-up of some of the most exciting and talented artists working today. Many of the artists are new to Roald Dahl; some have illustrated his work before. The result is a visual feast, zinging with colour and wit, that no Roald Dahl fan will want to be without.
