About this Item
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). "For some time now Roald Dahl has been the most popular living novelist that we have for children, despite, or sometimes possibly because of, lapses in taste. 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). Jeremy Treglown, Roald Dahl: A Biography, 1994. Octavo. Original light blue boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Illustrated throughout by Quentin Blake. Jacket unclipped, spine sunned, panels bright, small closed puncture to front panel, ink transfer from Dahl's signature onto jacket front flap: a fine copy in very good jacket.
