First edition, first impression, inscribed in the year of publication on the front free endpaper in green marker, "To Mark, with love Roald Dahl, 1981". Jeremy Treglown found that the book "owes something to a circus act or a Punch and Judy show" and noted that Quentin Blake "lightens things by visually reminding the reader both how small George is, and. how lonely and innocent" (p. 229).

George's Marvellous Medicine is a good example of this ability he has to entertain the young often at the cost of offending many of the other sort" (Times Literary Supplement, 24 July 1981).
