I love finds like these! James and the Giant Peach is one of my favourites too...any Roald Dahl is just amazing really. I just finished teaching a unit on Fantastic Mr Fox to a group of young students and got my hands on a hardcover 1970 version with the most AMAZING illustrations. Your blog is truly awesome... I love it!! :)pamelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10243561026473531115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-31980664066854760162012-01-11T15:03:00.295-06:002012-01-11T15:03:00.295-06:00Fantastic. There's something incredibly iconic about the second illustration -- the aunts and James walking toward the house. That house, the hill, the fence -- it gives me the same chills I remember when I first read the book so long ago.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-83962325117998003312012-01-11T11:00:29.493-06:002012-01-11T11:00:29.493-06:00What a lovely find!
