The earlier Dahl books will always be my favourites. This book keeps up the Dahl tradition of madcap characters. The ‘feel of it’ as it were is not the same as the Dahl books of my youth. But it’s probably time that’s giving me that impression.
An endearing story...[Patrick Benson's] swirling, cross-hatched color pictures are marvelous and mark him as one of our finest contemporary illustrators. AuszeichnungenBemerkenswerte Listen
Little Billy enters the Forest of Sin and meets the Minpins, matchstick-sized people who live in tree cities besieged by the Smoke-Belching Gruncher whom Billy vows to destroy. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This short novella begins with more of a religious slant than expected (apparently it's the Devil whispering into Billy's ear telling him to ignore his mother) but soon evolves into Dahl's familiar ridiculous and exaggerated style with birds and secret worlds. I enjoyed the ending suggesting that everyone should watch the world carefully because "the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places" and that "those who don't believe in MAGIC will never find it." 3.5 stars, rounded to 4 stars for target audience. 3 stars for me.
