Billy and the Minpins
Billy and the Minpins | Roald Dahl
11 posts | 18 read | 6 to read
One of Dahl's beloved stories available for the first time in novel format and newly illustrated by Quentin Blake! Billy's mum says he must never go out through the garden gate and explore the dark forest beyond. So, one day, he does exactly that! There Billy meets the amazing Minpins, tiny people who live inside the hollow trees. But the Minpins are in danger. The terrible, galloping Gruncher stalks the forest, and the Minpins are disappearing in their thousands. Can Billy find a way to destroy the hungry beast, once and for all--or will it gobble him up too? Illustrated by Quentin Blake for the first time, Billy and the Minpins is a new interpretation of Roald Dahl's very last story (originally published in 1991) and marks nearly forty years of their magical collaboration.

Overall this is a lovely tale, fitting of its author. There is a lot of Dahl's humour, and the narrative is wonderfully, and beautifully, imaginative.

Last two books of the Roald Dahl collection completed. I remember the Esio Trot story but I don't think I'd ever read Billy before.

From Roald Dahl's last children's story. ❤️

Roald Dahl would be 100 years old today. Gone, but always with us.

Thanks for all the memories 💫📚
