James and the Giant Peach. First edition, with the five-line colophon, of the author's first novel for children. Described as "rude, naughty, anti-adult, creepy, and sometimes cruel" (ODNB), it was later adapted into the 1996 film."One is tempted to say that not since Alice has there been such a wonderland. The difference is that James is all boy and what transpires in the story is anything but Victorian" (New York Times).
