7/8/2023 0 Comments Matilda novel![]() ![]() ![]() This edition contains the complete and unabridged text and includes brand-new color illustrations throughout by Sarah Walsh. Matilda’s character is certainly one to get behind-she’s empowering, knowledgeable and brave-and the entire story is freckled with funny bits and peppered with plenty of practical jokes. When Matilda meets Miss Honey, a warm-hearted and sweet teacher, she finds her inner strength and uses her newly-discovered exceptional talent to fight back and set more than a few things right in her world. Her father, a rotten car salesman, and her mother, obsessed with playing bingo, are completely clueless and treat her almost as terribly as the nasty Miss Trunchbull, the child-hating, ex-Olympic hammer-throwing headmistress at school. She can even do advanced math in her head. She has read every children’s book in the library and a few for adults. When Dahl first wrote the book, she was a wicked child and very different from how she is now known to readers worldwide. Matilda is a very kind-hearted character-she’s a gifted, intelligent, book-loving five-year-old who taught herself to read. ![]() Matilda was the last long kids’ book that Roald Dahl wrote before he passed away in 1990. ![]()
