Revolting Rhymes Classic Small Paperback

A paperback edition of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes.

"I guess you think you know this story. You don't. The real one's much more gory."

So begins Roald Dahl's take on Cinderella, the first story to feature in this new small edition of Revolting Rhymes.

Find out why Jack discovers he must bath everyday to defeat the giant at the top of the beanstalk, how Snow White made her fortune, and what disgusting thing Goldilocks had on her shoes when she got into the bears' beds.

You'll love these intriguingly twisted versions of these much loved children's tales: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Goldilocks, and the Three Little Pigs, served up by everyone's favourite children's author and illustrated by the instantly recognisable Quentin Blake.
