So it’s taken me a little longer to finish this one as it took me a while to sit down and read Matilda. It’s funny though, these books are not nearly so long as I remember them being when I was younger. But, without further ado, here it is, my recovering of Matilda. I’m really glad I took the time to reread the whole book, it was a delight!

So I took the idea of my James and the Giant Peach cover I recently posted about and decided to run a little bit further with it. Armed with a stack of Roald Dahl books from the public library, I’ve decided to reread some more of my favorite tales and recover them. The ultimate idea is to make a coherent series of covers with shared elements between them, so that if all these books were on a shelf they’d look like they belonged together in a collection. I took some of the aspects of the James and the Giant Peach cover and adapted it to another Roald Dahl story which I never had the pleasure of reading in my youth, The Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’s a fun story indeed. Next up, I’m setting my sights on Matilda, but we’ll see!
