Fantasy Children’s Books Classics
Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s fantasy Matilda appears here in a highly collectible 1988 first edition, complete with its original dust jacket and the lively illustrations that young readers still treasure. The hardcover was published by Jonathan Cape in the United Kingdom and carries ISBN 9780224025720.
Ideal for ages 4-8 through adult fans of bedtime stories and nursery rhymes, this novel follows a brilliant, book-loving girl who discovers the power of courage and kindness. The copy shows gentle signs of age: light foxing to the page edges and underside of the jacket, a few thumbed pages, and some surface marks on the covers, yet no writing, tears, or loose leaves, and the binding remains tight.
A delightful addition to any shelf of children’s fantasy or antiquarian and collectible literature, this first edition Matilda offers both reading pleasure and long-term value for Dahl devotees and bibliophiles alike.
