- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great collection, this time narrated by the author which includesCharlie and the Chocolate FactoryJames and the Giant PeachFantastic Mr. FoxThe Enormous CrocodileThe Magic FingerHearing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reminded me how much I had enjoyed this book when I first read it as a child. When the movie version with Johnny Depp came out in the cinema I rushed out to see it and was very disappointed to find it didn't at all fit with my fond memories of the story. So it felt like an extra treat to find this tale was just as I'd remembered it, with the chocolates concoctions which had made me salivate when I'd read about them originally, and all about those golden tickets and the wicked children who had won them, which later made the horrible fates the children eventually met with seem wholly justified. Another reviewer here on LT said that she found Dahl's gruesome sense of humour disturbing, and I suppose it was, but I find that's part of what makes Dahl's stories so unique and enduring, aside from which, what he inflicts on some of his characters is no worse than the horrors that were met by countless protagonists in the fairytale stories we were told as children, which again, is part of the reason they stayed so long in the collective consciousness before Disney and political correctness changed them beyond recognition. Loved loved loved The Magic Finger too, which taught a family unforgettable lessons about the evils of hunting in a terrifying, yet (to this animal lover) absolutely delightful way.
