A phizzwhizzing new edition of Roald Dahl's classic story, in glorious full colour for the first time. Illustrated for the first time in full colour by Quentin Blake.

All the land around them belongs to Mr Victor Hazell, a rich snob with a great glistening beery face and tiny piggy eyes. Nobody likes him, not one-little bit. So one day, Danny and his father concoct a daring plot that will give the old blue-faced baboon Victor Hazell the greatest shock of his life - so long as they don't get caught ...
