Si trattava di questo: nella sua stessa città, addirittura in vista della casa in cui abitava Charlie, c'era... pensate un po'... un'ENORME FABBRICA DI CIOCCOLATO!
Provate a immaginare una cosa del genere!
E non si trattava nemmeno di un'enorme fabbrica di cioccolato qualsiasi. Era la più grande e la più famosa fabbrica di cioccolato del mondo! Era la FABBRICA WONKA, di proprietà del signor Willy Wonka, il più grande inventore e fabbricante di dolciumi e cioccolatini che sia mai esistito. E che formidabile e meravigliosa fabbrica era quella!

5/5 stars. Had a blast with my son reading this aloud.
Update 2024: wonderful repeat read aloud. Wonka's dialogue is so fun to perform. This started as a one-on-one read aloud with my 4yo girl this time and ended with us all hearing it again.

We listened to the audio version of this read by the author Roald Dahl and we all enjoyed it. It made for a great diversion during a long road trip. The Oompa Loompa’s song after Mike Teavee shrinks is my favorite! Just wanted to note an excerpt…
“The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set —
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
In almost every house we've been,
We've watched them gaping at the screen.
They loll and slop and lounge about,
And stare until their eyes pop out.
(Last week in someone's place we saw
A dozen eyeballs on the floor.)
They sit and stare and stare and sit
Until they're hypnotised by it,
Until they're absolutely drunk
With all that shocking ghastly junk.
Oh yes, we know it keeps them still,
They don't climb out the window sill,
They never fight or kick or punch,
They leave you free to cook the lunch
And wash the dishes in the sink —
But did you ever stop to think,
To wonder just exactly what
This does to your beloved tot?
IT ROTS THE SENSE IN THE HEAD!
IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD!
IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND!
IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLIND
HE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTAND
A FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND!
HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE!
HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE!
HE CANNOT THINK — HE ONLY SEES!
'All right!' you'll cry. 'All right!' you'll say,
'But if we take the set away,
What shall we do to entertain
Our darling children? Please explain!'
We'll answer this by asking you,
'What used the darling ones to do?
'How used they keep themselves contented
Before this monster was invented?'
Have you forgotten? Don't you know?
We'll say it very loud and slow:
THEY… USED… TO… READ! They'd READ and READ,
AND READ and READ, and then proceed
To READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks!
One half their lives was reading books!
The nursery shelves held books galore!
Books cluttered up the nursery floor!
And in the bedroom, by the bed,
More books were waiting to be read!”
