Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

George's Marvellous Medicine. First edition, inscribed on the front free endpaper in black, "for David, with all my regards & appreciation. Quentin. 2011", and additionally signed by the illustrator on the title page.The book "owes something to a circus act or a Punch and Judy show", and Quentin Blake "lightens things by visually reminding the reader both how small George is, and... how lonely and innocent" (Treglown, p. 229)."For some time now Roald Dahl has been the most popular living novelist that we have for children, despite, or sometimes possibly because of, lapses in taste... George's Marvellous Medicine is a good example of this ability he has to entertain the young often at the cost of offending many of the other sort" (Times Literary Supplement).
