Roald Dahl Book Collection £15.99 @ The Book PeopleIf you've been missing out on this Roald Dahl book collection each time it's on offer with The Book People, now's your chance to try again; QUICK, this never stays in stock for very long!

I adore books; I loved them as a child and I love them as an adult.

Enid Blyton was the first author I remember but Roald Dahl HAS to be my most, and enduring, favourite of them all.

My youngest, and his dad, have recently finished reading Fantastic Mr  Fox at bedtime – it was the first ‘long’ book and he adored the tale of Foxy and Badger, along with cider-swilling Rat.

I watched some of the Fantastic Mr Fox movie a couple of months ago and ended up turning it off - there's a TON of stuff in it that was never ever in the book and THAT just isn't on, you don't go messing around with Roald Dahl stories!

The BFG and The Witches have both been translated to movies for TV too and, thankfully, they stayed very true to the original books and are just marvellous.

Talking of marvellous, George's Marvellous Medicine is also up there on my 'most favourite Roald Dahl books' list too.

Fifteen books make up this Roald Dahl book collection and they're yours for £15.99 instead of £93.85.

Roald Dahl Collection £25 @ BooksDirectBargains

Roald Dahl Collection £25 @ BooksDirectBargainsI have lots of favourite story books and authors from my childhood and Road Dahl is one of them. Booksdirectbargains.co.uk have the entire Roald Dahl collection of stories in a prestentation slip case for just £25 instead of £94.98 and delivery is free.

I'm seriously tempted by these! Not for the kids, they already have their own well-thumbed copies of most of the Roald Dahl stories, but for ME!

I adore books, remember, and there's something very delicious about having immaculate copies of books that I've treasured or which evoke very happy memoires.

All of them are favourites, I'm not sure I could pick out just one or two!

I remember Rik Mayall reading George's Marvellous Medicine on Jackanory - utterly perfect casting for a fabulous story - and despite concerns from some parental corners and other well-meaning types , to my knowledge no child ever mixed up a marvellous medicine of their own and poisoned their grandma!

Roald Dahl Collection £25 @ BooksDirectBargainsThe BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox and Danny Champion of the World have been made in to films; the BFG stars David Jason and Danny Champion of the World saw the rather scrummy Ralph Fiennes take the lead, I could sit and watch both movies and read the books over and over.

The Twits, James and the Giant Peach - Roald Dahl was a literary gift and, combined with the unmistakeable illustrations by Quentin Blake, left us with story book treasures that all generations of children will LOVE.
