Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach. James is told that once he swallows the crystals with water, marvellous, fabulous and unbelievable things will happen to him, and he'll never be miserable again. Determined to find a better life, the insects bite the great peach free from its tree and launch into an amazing journey to freedom.James and the Giant Peach may have been Roald Dahl’s breakthrough book but it’s definitely not among his best. They were selfish and lazy and cruel, and right from the beginning they started beating poor James for almost no reason at all. The verbal and emotional abuse James receives is a bit over-the-top, but that might be the reality for some kids. As always, Roald Dahl spins the most fantastic wonderful tales for children and James and the Giant Peach is up there with his greatest ones.
