London, Jonathan Cape, Ltd., 1982

Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Roald Dahl's mischievous verse play on traditional folk tales, reinterpreting six well-known fairy tales and replacing the more traditional, happy-ever-after endings with surprise ones of a more grotesque nature, each still serving as a moral tale of sorts. The Revolting Rhymes were adapted for television by Magic Light Pictures in 2016.

First edition; 4to (285 x 220 mm); illustrations by Quentin Blake, very slight age-toning (as usual); publisher's illustrated laminated boards, a couple of minor spots to upper endpaper, otherwise near-fine.
