RARE FIRST EDITION WARTIME DISNEY BOOK – THE GREMLINS by ROALD DAHL
Very rare original 1943 edition from the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Printed in Australia by Shepherd and Newman, Sydney – one of the true first editions. The Gremlins was Dahl’s very first book for children. The story was originally intended for production as an animated film by Walt Disney, but the film was dropped before it was completed. Disney did, however, still publish the book that had been created as a tie-in with the movie’s release. Only around 50,000 copies were printed worldwide, therefore copies of it are extremely rare.
