Near fine book in good original jacket with $3.95 price on flap.

Interior clean, bright, and unmarked, binding tight and square. 1996 Hard Cover. 126, [6] pp. 8vo. Dahl's first book written for children, which inspired the 1996 film produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick, which starred Paul Terry, and featured voice-over work by Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfuss, and Simon Callow. Illustrated by Nancy Ekholm Burkert. "James and the Giant Peach is a popular children's novel written in 1961 by British author Roald Dahl. The original first edition published by Alfred Knopf featured illustrations by Nancy Ekholm Burkert. However, there have been various reillustrated versions of it over the years, done by Michael Simeon for the first British edition, Emma Chichester Clark, Lane Smith and Quentin Blake. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1996. The plot centers on a young English orphan boy who enters a gigantic, magical peach, and has a wild and surreal cross-world adventure with a group of anthropomorphic insects he meets within the giant peach. Originally titled James and the Giant Cherry, Dahl changed it to James and the Giant Peach because a peach is "prettier, bigger and squishier than a cherry.
