James and the Giant Peach

James's aunts call him names, beat and starve him and make his life a misery. If only his parents hadn't been eaten by an escaped rhinoceros, he wouldn't be in this mess. But one day he meets a man who gives him a bag of magic crocodile tongues and so begins the adventure of his dreams. 罗尔德·达尔，英国著名儿童文学作家，一生从事写作几十年，创作儿童读物18本，如《詹姆斯和大仙桃》、《查里和巧克力工厂》、《好心眼的巨人》、《女巫》、《了不起的狐狸爸爸》、《玛蒂尔达》等等，其魔力超越语言和国界，同时他本人的传奇经历也像童话里的人物一样赋有神奇力量，成为“哈梅林的魔笛手”(The Pied Piper of Hamelin)，凡是读过其书的孩子全都情不自禁迷倒在他创造的畅快淋漓的魔力世界，无一幸免。
