Roald Dahl was a champion of the underdog and all things little in this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centered aunts. How James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order. You will never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insects a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred gorgeous shoes. Their adventures aboard a luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. This happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know. And Lane Smith's endearingly funny illustrations are a perfect match for the text. \"All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight.\" Kirkus Reviews \"A stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy.\" The Chicago Tribune \"The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic.\" San Francisco Chronicle","image":"https:\/\/images.thalia.media\/00\/-\/4170a89b39c8406fb3b2d1cf4e91f107\/james-and-the-giant-peach-taschenbuch-roald-dahl-englisch.jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.vergleiche.ch\/product\/james-and-the-giant-peach\/","min_price":9.4,"low_price_merchant_id":2294,"deeplink":"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/pclick.php?p=44769228865&a=401125&m=13971&pref1=9780140374247","ean":9780140374247,"brand":"Penguin US"}
