Sobre este artículo
London: Jonathan Cape,, 1981. Signed by the author First edition, first impression, signed and dated "Roald Dahl 6 March, 1982" on the front free endpaper in purple. Jeremy Treglown found that the book "owes something to a circus act or a Punch and Judy show", and notes that Quentin Blake "lightens things by visually reminding the reader both how small George is, and... how lonely and innocent". A contemporary review noted that, "For some time now Roald Dahl has been the most popular living novelist that we have for children, despite, or sometimes possibly because of, lapses in taste... George's Marvellous Medicine is a good example of this ability he has to entertain the young often at the cost of offending many of the other sort". Octavo. Original light blue boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Illustrated throughout by Quentin Blake. A copy with notably bright contents. Minor damp staining to head of rear cover and free endpapers, foxing to top edge; some damp staining and light foxing to jacket, spine slightly sunned, occasional minor loss to extremities, unclipped: a very good copy in a very good jacket. Times Literary Supplement, 24 July 1981, p. 839; Jeremy Treglown, Roald Dahl, a biography, 1994, p. 229.
