New York, Alfred A Knopf, 1964

A solid first edition of Roald Dahl's masterpiece of modern children's literature, preceding the UK edition by three years. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory introduced the world to one of Dahl's most enduring characters, Willy Wonka, and his wacky & wonderful confectionary creations, as well as the Oompa-Loompas of course. The book went on to become Dahl's most famous work, adapted for film successfully twice, starring Gene Wilder & Johnny Depp respectively as the chief music maker and dreamer of dreams...

First edition, first printing, first issue (with 6-line colophon); 8vo; illustrations by Joseph Schindelman, mustard endpapers, some minor marking to extreme fore-edge of some ff.; publisher's burgundy blind-tooled cloth, a very good copy, first issue dust-jacket correctly priced '$3.95' on upper flap and without ISBN number on the rear panel, some slight toning, lightly rubbed & creasing to edges, chipped at spine ends with minor loss, overall very good.
