Nice, we got to see a production of that story when we were in London — hysterical, dark, classic Dahl.

This is great quote and am glad it helps Matilda and will help her get over the trauma of those horrid parents Roald created for her. . . Like Disney films, children overcome death and catastrophes through their own inner strength and a little help from kindness of others. <3

Awesome quote. I hadn’t seen it before. Definitely glad my son is reading James and The Giant Peach right now. He’s an interesting author most definitely opening different worlds.

glad you enjoyed it, and yes, he is such an interesting storyteller. in most of his childrens’ books, the children and animals are shown to have more grit and staying power than the adults around them . )
