La potion magique de Georges Bouillon

George's Marvellous Medicine (known as George's Marvelous Medicine in the US) is a book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. First published in 1981, it was praised for its humour, but was also criticised for its underdeveloped plot and offbeat ending. It is one of Dahl's shorter children's books. Being a medical expert was one of what Dahl called his "dreams of glory": he had huge respect for doctors and particularly those who pioneered new treatments. He dedicated the book to "doctors everywhere". An audio reading of it was released with the actor Richard E. Grant narrating. In 2003, the book was listed at number 134 on the BBC's The Big Read poll.
