Roald Dahl’s original novel of The BFG is loved around the world, and of course has already made it to the screen in the form of an animated movie in 1989, and many will remember the Quentin Blake hand-drawn editions. Here’s the synopsis from Amazon.
Every night, when the world is sleeping, big gruesome giants guzzle up whoppsy-whiffling human beans. And there’s only one giant who can stop them – the BFG. He’s the kindest giant there is and, with his friend Sophie in his top pocket, he sets out to rid the world of the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater and all their rotsome friends forever.
