With a chocolate river, delectable confectionery and mysterious Oompa Loompas, Mr Wonka's factory is the most wondrous place Charlie has ever seen.

It's a children's story that also steps outside children's and people aren't used to seeing Dahl in that way.

Douglas Hodge, who played Willy Wonka in the London production of the stage musical, [74] narrated the UK Edition of the audiobook for Penguin Audio in 2013 ( ISBN 978-0141370293), and the title was later released on Audible. I would venture to say, the reader and listener (adult and child, alike) will take something from this book and find magic in the formulation. The text in this edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was updated in 2022 for young independent readers. As an adult, I can see some of the themes that Dahl seeks to instil in his readers, about fate, greed, gluttony, and patience.
