Roald Dahl/Charlie Boxed Set (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator)
Deliciously madcap mayhem and out-of-this-world fantasy--this is what  you'll find within the casing of this boxed set of two of Roald Dahl's most  brilliant creations:Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryandCharlie and  the Great Glass Elevator.For decades, delighted readers of all ages have explored Willy Wonka's fabulous  chocolate factory, met the Oompa Loompas, and sampled the chocolate river along  with Augustus Gloop. And later, they have zoomed off into the stratosphere in  the most remarkable elevator ever created. Now, a new generation of readers  barely needs to pause between the first and the second of Roald Dahl's masterful  volumes. Hardcover editions of each title, illustrated of course by the  incomparable Quentin Blake, are tucked in a handy cardboard sleeve, ready for  the next set of hungry eyes. Sadly, the convenience of the set is  counterbalanced by the poor quality of the paper used for the books. Classics  like these deserve thick, creamy, opaque pages; not the flimsy, rough,  semitransparent sheets used here. (Ages 7 and older)--Emilie Coulter
