London, Jonathan Cape, 1984.. FIRST EDITION 1984. PROOF COPY, coloured illustrations throughout by Quentin Blake. Slim 4to, 280 x 220 mm, 11 x 8½ inches, colour illustrated white boards, no pagination. Spine just a touch darkened, otherwise near Fine, 'PROOF COPY ONLY' stamped on front endpaper. Issued without dustwrapper. This title was first published in 1983 with illustrations by Rosemary Fawcett. See Treglown page 221: 'There couldn't be a bigger contrast than between Quentin Blake's benignly funny sketches and the giddying, lurid, surrealistic images Rosemary Fawcett produced. ...Fawcett does more than justice to Dahl's ferocity, but not to his humour or his underlying traditionalism. Dahl himself hated the drawings.' He apparently offered to incinerate all unsold Fawcett copies and dance around the bonfire. The first edition of the Quentin Blake version is uncommon.
