Reviews"This newly-illustrated edition of an avowed children's favorite has all the makings of a classic match-up: Milne had Shepard, Carroll had Tenniel, and now Dahl has Smith...author and illustrator were made for each other, and it's of little consequence that it took almost 35 years for them to meet" -- Kirkus .

    I wanted this particular printing of James and the Giant Peach for the beautiful artwork. It's out or print, so I needed to jump through a couple hoops. Absolutely beautiful copy, like brand new! Thank you!

  • Excellent-far beyond my expectations

    I received the book today and it was perfect, like new. I appreciate the speedy manner in which it was sent and mostly, it was so very neatly double wrapped in white tissue paper, rewrapped with brown paper and enclosed in gray bubble wrap plastic bag. Such detail and care given. Most excellent and I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation enough. Thank you so very, very much.
