The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look.

A collection of (mainly) grisly beasts out for human blood, ranging from Crocky-Wock the crocodile to Stingaling the scorpion. Described in verse with all Dahl's usual gusto and illustrated in a suitably wicked style by Quentin Blake.

Was that CROCKY-WOCK galumphing up the stairs?
Is STINGALING hiding in your bed?
And what foul fate has PIGGY planned for Farmer Bland?

WARNING! This book contains wickedly funny verse, prickly surprises and the most despicable creatures you could ever hope (not) to meet.
