A BRAND-NEW EDITION, ILLUSTRATED BY QUENTIN BLAKE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Pre-order now to complete your collection in time for Roald Dahl Day, September 2017.
Billy’s mum says he must never go out through the garden gate and explore the dark forest beyond. So, one day, that’s exactly what he does! There he meets the Minpins, tiny tree-dwelling people whose children are the size of matchsticks. They live in fear of the terrible, galloping GRUNCHER. Will it gobble Billy too – or can he find a way to defeat the hungry beast?
From Matilda to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG, the collaboration between Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake has captured millions of children’s imaginations for nearly forty years. Billy and the Minpins, this new interpretation of Roald Dahl’s very last story (originally published in 1991), is just as magical.
Reviews
I really enjoyed this book but thought it was a bit short.

Billy wanted to do all of the fun things but his mother never let him do them. Then the devil came who was always beside him and he said, 'why don't you go into the forest, your mum wont notice'. The minpins are tiny people. My favourite part was when Billy flew away on a swan.

I liked how the young MiniPins took flying lessons on Robins. I also liked how Billy flew on the swan every night.

I love this book because it is full of adventure. My favourite part is when little Billy meets the Minpins because you don't know what could happen and so it is exciting.

It was a good book about always helping people and animals

This book is a little scary, and full of surprises! Billy's mother told him that you never go into the woods because there was blood-sucking wild beasts. But Billy was curious and this book tells his story. If you like a scare, then you will love this book.
