First edition, first printing. Publisher's original illustrated boards in the Patrick Benson illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in colour by Patrick Benson. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with just a touch of rubbing to the spine tips, and a small dent to the upper board. The contents are clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, which has two short closed tears to the front panel and one to the head of the spine, and is otherwise without fading or loss. Not price-clipped (£8.99 to the lower front flap).
This fantastical story was the author's final book and was published shortly after Dahl's death in November 1990.
