George's Marvellous Medicine.
London: Jonathan Cape, 1981. [Children's classic] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (23 x 15cm), pp.96. With illustrations by Blake. In publisher's light blue cloth with gilt titles to spine. With dust-jacket also illustrated by Blake. Spotting to edges, otherwise internally clean. Some wear and toning to board extremities. Price-clipped jacket shows some sunning to spine, moderate general wear, and a closed tear to the front panel, with a small chip to corner. Good. Dahl's splendidly wicked tale of vengeance in which the mischievous George Kranky substitutes his tyrannical grandma's regular medicine for his own concoction with a little more pep... Influenced by the 'Drink Me' potion from Alice in Wonderland, and basis for the memorable 1986 BBC Jackanory adaptation performed by the peerless comedy genius that was Rik Mayall. Item #75909
