A brand-new edition, illustrated by Quentin Blake for the first time. Pre-order now to complete your collection in time for Roald Dahl Day, September 2017. Billy`s mum says he must never go out through the garden gate and explore the dark forest beyond. So, one day, that`s exactly what he does! There he meets the Minpins, tiny tree-dwelling people whose children are the size of matchsticks. They live in fear of the terrible, galloping GRUNCHER. Will it gobble Billy too - or can he find a way to defeat the hungry beast? From Matilda to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG, the collaboration between Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake has captured millions of children`s imaginations for nearly forty years. Billy and the Minpins, this new interpretation of Roald Dahl`s very last story (originally published in 1991), is just as magical.
