Here is the<br>exciting, hilarious, and moral story of the five prizewinners. They were, alas, <br>repulsive children, with the exception of Charlie Bucket, whose family was so<br>poor he could only have one candy bar a year. Rich in humor, acutely observant, <br>Dahl lets his imagination rip in fairyland."-- "The New York Times."
