THE ROALD DAHL CLOTHBOUND COLLECTION · Bound in real cloth with gold foil · Illustrated by Quentin Blake
Charlie Bucket lives in a tiny house with his parents and all four grandparents, and there is never quite enough to eat. More than anything, he longs for chocolate.
Then the mysterious chocolate maker Willy Wonka announces that he has hidden five golden tickets inside five ordinary bars, and the lucky finders will be invited inside his famous factory. Against all the odds, Charlie finds one. Inside are chocolate rivers, impossible sweets and the Oompa-Loompas — and the four other ticket-holders, each of whom is about to learn a very sticky lesson.
Gleefully funny and endlessly inventive, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the most famous children's books ever written.
