Matilda Classic Paperback

A paperback edition of one of Roald Dahl's best-loved books, Matilda.

"Her own small bedroom now became her reading-room and there she would sit and read most afternoons, often with a mug of hot chocolate beside her."

Matilda's parents are stupid and nasty and fail to see the potential in their gifted daughter; they think she should be watching more TV and reading fewer books! Matilda's headmistress Miss Trunchbull is even more horrible and dislikes small children. Luckily Matilda is an incredibly clever child with a mind that can move things, and a few tricks up her sleeve.

With delightful Quentin Blake illustrations, and a section full of fantabulous facts at the back.

This Penguin Books collection keeps Roald Dahl's classic texts in print. It sits along the 2023 range of Puffin Books and allows readers to decide how they experience Roald Dahl's magical, marvellous stories. Readers will now be free to choose which version of Dahl's stories they prefer, and we stock both!

The twenty titles in the Classic Collection include all seventeen of Roald Dahl's famous children's books (including two autobiographical texts, Boy and Going Solo) as well as the rhyme collections Dirty Beasts, Rhyme Stew and Revolting Rhymes.
