Roald Dahl – George’s Marvellous Medicine – First UK Edition 1981 – SIGNED by Quentin Blake
£1,350.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ published by Cape in 1981. A near fine book without inscriptions – a trace of spotting to the top edge in a near fine wrapper without fade to the spine. Clipped, with a little rubbing to the corners. SIGNED to the title page by Blake without dedication.
A darkly funny children’s story about George, who creates a magical concoction to cure his horrid Grandma. Using wild household ingredients—from shampoo to engine oil—he brews a medicine that makes Grandma grow enormously tall, then shrink to nothing when George can’t recreate it. The tale highlights mischief, imagination, and consequences, with quirky language, surprising transformations, and Dahl’s characteristic blend of humour and menace.
