The BFG

Updated: Apr 11, 2023

by Roald Dahl



"We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable."

Publisher Description:


From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda!


One of TIME MAGAZINE’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time


The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It’s lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!


“This warmhearted tall tale, published a year before Dahl picked up the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, artfully whisks readers away on a magical journey through London, Giant Country and beyond, to a realm of wild imagination.” —TIME Magazine
