Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, nastiest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything - except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don't just want out, they want revenge.

Where did Roald Dahl get all of his wonderful ideas for stories? From his own life, of course! As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world-famous, best-selling books, Roald Dahl's tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose in a car accident? Or that he was once a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's? Have you heard about his involvement in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you don't yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl.

The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Typical Roald Dahl fun
If you like Roald Dahl quirkiness and humor, you'll love this one too...the quirkiness and word play of books like the BFG and the Twits with hidden value in the story like evil, greed, and bad being defeated by good in crazy, impossible ways. A unforeseen, imaginative, unexpected hero and funny twist of events leading to good defeating bad.

First Roald Dahl story I didn't like
First, Derek Jacobi could read the telephone book and make it sound good. The man's one of the best actors on the planet. So it's not his fault. The story just didn't do it for me. I found it highly annoying.
