“I am the maker of music, the dreamer of dreams!”
Wonderful is the dream-like world that Roald Dahl has drawn up that the world of his is surpassed by only his imagination. The wonders and the adventures are as candid and flossed as the candies made by Mr Wonka in the wonderful chocolate factory of his. What a world he draws, this creativity is humbling and the world he draws up is one that can be watched in awe and utter dumbfoundness alone.
A beautiful story, that is as beautiful as the place it takes place in.

I grew up with the movie and never got to read the book. It’s a very short and entertaining read and brings back so many memories! Loved it! 🥰
I used to read this book when I was little. I've read it about 5 times. Maybe, it was my first novel. I did enjoy it! And I remember everything. Quentin Blake's illustrations are unforgettable as well.
