A classic Childrens tale from a classic Childrens author, I grew up reading and re-reading Roald Dahl's novels time and again... This and The BFG were by far my favorites and I one day hope my Children (should I be lucky enough to have any) will get as much joy and escape out of it as I did.

Very good book, a little different to the first two since this volume doesn't really revolve around Rand but instead focuses on devolping the other main players in the story. Really picks up well toward the end with an excellent climatic scene. I definitely enjoyed my re-read and look forward to the remaining novels in the series. :)
