A first edition, first printing published by Cape in 1980. A near fine book. No inscriptions. In a very good price clipped wrapper. A nice copy of a classic children’s book.

The idea of The Twits was triggered by Dahl’s desire to ‘do something against beards’, because he had an acute hatred of them. The first sentence of the story is, ‘What a lot of hairy-faced men there are around nowadays.’
