Little Billy was awfully tired of being good.He longed to explore the big black secret wood - the Forest of Sin. So,despite warnings about Whangdoodles, Snozzwanglers, Vermicious Knids,and other even more terrible beasts,he is tempted to go through the gate,into the forest beyond. . . . Once inside,he encounters the extraordinary Minpins,who live in terror of the most awesome creature invented: the Red-Hot Smoke-Belching Gruncher! and it is Little Billy - with some very special help from the Minpins themselves - who comes up with a plan to defeat the dreaded monster,and finds himself proclaimed a hero! A compelling adventure that will ensure Dahl's unique storytelling magic will live on in the abundant imaginations of children everywhere. 'The Minpins' is told with all the darkly imaginative flair of the Master Storyteller,and Patrick Benson's vivid illustrations provide an inspired interpretation of Dahl's fantastical world.Roald Dahl had personally asked him to illustrate 'The Minpins' which turned out to be one of Dahl’s last ever books.The author's final work for children and was published posthumously.Dahl was a double winner of the Children's Book Award and Whitbread Children's Book Award. Benson,himself,is a winner of the prestigious Kurt Maschler Award,and this copy is a superb example of the collaboration between author and artist. Patrick Benson studied at the Chelsea Art School and St Martin's School of Art.He first entered the world of book illustration with William Mayne's 'Hob Stories' in 1984,for which he won the Mother Goose Award.Since then he has continued to illustrate other people's stories, as well as his own.He received world-wide accolades for his interpretation of Roald Dahl's final book,'The Minpins' (see my book ID's rja26467,rja32168,rja416912,rja1114923 for more of the same 1st edns),and the two J.R. Hartley 'Fly Fishing books (see book ID rja26597).His illustrations for 'The Willows in Winter' (see my book ID's rja1132,rja596116 and rja682917), and his new edition of 'The Wind in the Willows' also received outstanding praise.
