The Twits. Illustrated by Quentin Blake. London: Cape, 1980. First Edition. Red cloth boards, title lettered in gilt to spine, in pictorial dust jacket (price-clipped). A nice bright copy.

Roald Dahl’s unparalleled gift for delighting children with the unexpected is superbly displayed in this tale of nastiness rewarded.

“No one but Quentin Blake could so comically so stylishly capture all the mad hair-raising action.”
