The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me
Dahl at his inventive best again and Blake responding in similar vein. A long text but the extra large page size leaves the pictures room to make their contribution even within the standard 32-page format. Young Billy tells the story of the Ladderless Window Cleaning Company -- monkey, giraffe and pelican - and how he, and they, meet the Duke of Hampshire - the richest man in England. Several adventures later Billy ends up with his heart's desire - his very own sweet shop, stocked of course from the great Wonka factory.
