Danny's life seems perfect: his home is a gypsy caravan, he's the youngest car mechanic around, and his best friend is his dad, who never runs out of wonderful stories to tell. And when Danny discovers his father's secret, he's off on the adventure of a lifetime. Here's Roald Dahl's famous story about a 9-year-old boy, his dad, and a daring and hilarious pheasant-snatching expedition. Just as important, it's the story of the love between a boy and his father who, in Danny's own words, is "the most marvelous and exciting father a boy ever had. "; 6.25 X 0.75 X 9.5 inches; 196 pages.

Aggiungi al carrelloThe Jill Bennett archive of illustrations for the first edition of Roald Dahl's Danny The Champion of The World. Including correspondence between the author, artist and the publishers Jonathan Cape, Alfred A. Knopf and Penguin (Puffin) Books. The illustrations begin with the three fine pencil character studies Jill Bennett sent to Dahl (who forwards them to his publisher) and includes the full colour dustjacket artwork and the 71 original pen and ink drawings (on 66 sheets) used to illustrate the story. Also present is the original photograph (believed to be Roald Dahl as a baby) used at the beginning of chapter one, and the "Sparky" lettering used at the conclusion of the final page. Correspondence includes two autograph letters from Roald Dahl to Jill Bennett, one confirming receipt of the trial drawings, the other confirming the commission and forwarding comments from Knopf's "wizz-kid editor" Bob Gottlieb; two typed letters from Alfred Knopf to Roald Dahl, one returning Jill Bennett's illustrations, the other giving layout measurements and deadlines for the jacket illustration; three typed letters from Kaye Webb at Penguin to Jill, the first sending the manuscript of 'Roald's new book', the second asking for an alternative illustration to the photograph due to concerns about the quality of reproduction and the last enclosing two copies of Danny 'in its Puffin coat'; three typed letters from Robert (Bob) Gottlieb at Alfred Knopf to Jill confirming receipt of the jacket artwork 'which has been hailed a triumph', another enthusing about the Danny pictures and advising that 'our half of your payment was sent out to you some days ago. And I have written strongly to Tom Maschler, urging him to pay his share at once.'; two typed letters from Tom Maschler at Jonathan Cape to Jill, the first enclosing a cheque in payment 'I am delighted with the result and I hope the great British reading public will be equally delighted!', the other forwarding a couple of copies of the Cape first edition and apologising for the delay in doing so; an autograph copy in Jill's hand of a letter from Bob Gottlieb to Roald Dahl approving the trial drawings and setting out the deadlines, illustration requirements and fee amount, and a standard letter from Random House enclosing early reviews of the book. All the above is housed and beautifully presented in two purpose made quarter black morocco solander cases. The publication of Danny The Champion of the World marked a notable turning point for Roald Dahl and his books. Having been published in the UK by George Allen and Unwin, a muddle occurred over the contract for Danny, provoking Dahl to investigate alternative publishers, and, impressed by Tom Maschler's energy, he transferred to Jonathan Cape. For the first time both the UK and US editions were to have the same illustrations. Jill Bennett had just completed the illustrations for the first paperback edition of Fantastic Mr. Fox for Puffin Books, and, delighted with the result, Kaye Webb at Puffin sent her the manuscript for Roald Dahl's new book Danny The Champion of The World. The correspondence retained in the archive clearly shows that all three publishing houses worked together in order to bring the book to print and even though the Puffin edition would be the last to publish, it was Kaye Webb who, with the obvious approval of Roald Dahl, was instrumental in bringing Jill Bennett to the project. In chapter two of Danny we meet for the first time a character who would become one of Dahl's most famous and best loved creations: The BFG. Jill's illustration of the Big Friendly Giant who, "three times as tall as an ordinary man," with "hands as big as wheelbarrows," appears on page 20 of the Jonathan Cape first edition. Dahl's own manuscripts, notebooks and correspondence, including those for Danny, are held at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire. The opportunity to acquire a complete archive that documents the illustration process from the initial sight of the manuscript, through to the execution and completion of the project, is of the upmost rarity.

Publisher's original quarter brown cloth over paper covered boards, stamped in blind to the upper board, with titles in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with drawings throughout by Jill Bennett. Top edge brown. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a little rubbing at the extremities. The contents, with spotting to the closed text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. The brown top stain remains vivid and without fading. Complete with the lightly creased dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped ($5.95 to the upper front flap). Together with a signed original program for a unique production of the musical play Fantastic Mr. Fox. The play was specially commissioned for the Thornbury Arts Festival '76 and starred Roger Whittall in the title role, with Roald Dahl in attendance. Both items are housed in a bespoke quarter morocco solander case. An excellent example with a fantastic provenance. The book is warmly inscribed by the author in black ink on the front free endpaper "To Roger [Whittall] / The Great Mr. Fox / With love / from / Roald Dahl / 12 May 1976". The program is signed by Roald Dahl in brown ink and the composer and conductor Adrian Beaumont in black. A fabulous pairing of Roald Dahl presentations. The publication of Danny the Champion of the World marked the first time that both the UK and US printings were issued simultaneously in first edition with drawings by the same illustrator.
