Sobre este item
Meanwhile, Wonka's chaotic energy drives the story to its greatest heights. As the walled chocolate garden's grotesqueries reward a child-reader's basest narrative instincts, each unworthy child is punished according to his or her character and just desserts, in sequences as merciless as a medieval morality play. For these disquieting episodes, and for the sheer material lavishness of Charlie's ultimate reward, the novel was derided by Eleanor Cameron as "one of the most tasteless books ever written for children, " no better than a television show; Ursula Le Guin concurred, likening its effects to "a tiny psychological fugue, very like that provided by comic books." Children continue, lawlessly, to adore it.
This first UK edition features illustrations by Faith Jaques instead of the US version's from Joseph Schindelman. A much nicer copy than typically seen, with laminate entirely intact. 9'' x 5.75''. Original laminated color pictorial boards. No dust jacket as issued. Illustrated by Jaques in black and white. 127, [3] pages. Spine faintly soiled. Light marginal toning to leaves.
