James and the Giant Peach »

Kids and adults alike love Roald Dahl s deliciously wicked books. Loved for their gleefully evil villains and their often mischievous sensibility, Dahl s books introduce us to fantastic creatures and bizarre places -- and encourage our imaginations to run wild.

When James drops magic crystals by the peach tree, the toy peach starts growing, and before long, it's as big as a house, with a secret entranceway.

Lane Smith trades stinky cheese for fantastic fruit with his black-and-white illustrations for Roald Dahl's classic 1961 novel, James and the Giant Peach. The reissue is timed to coincide with the release of the Disney animated motion picture based on Smith's suitably subversive visual interpretation.
