Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
by Roald Dahl
Probably the best known of Roald Dahl's many books, this is also of those I've read his best. Willy Wonka is a creation of genius, and the Chocolate Factory of Dahl's imagination is a fantastic wonder. I remember visiting the Mars Chocolate factory as a child and was disappointed it wasn't like Wonka's factory. Seeing a Bounty without its chocolate is hardly on a par with the chocolate waterfall of Wonka's factory. The five children who receive the golden tickets to visit Wonka's factory are wonderfully imagined, the spoilt Veruca, the greedy Augustus, the competitive Violet and the TV Crazy Mike Teevee are a great contrast to ordinary but almost saintly Charlie Bucket.
