As Charlie turns fifty, so it appears in the Penguin Modern Classics livery, with a new Introduction by Sam Mendes

'We are the music makers ... we are the dreamers of dreams'

This new edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory celebrates fifty years of the bestselling and beloved classic. The story of Charlie Bucket, a mysterious, eccentric chocolate factory owner and the golden ticket that transforms his existence is a masterpiece of exuberant invention, nonsense, fantasy and dark morality tale; both delightful and cruel.
