![]() ![]() The first edition of the iconic novel 'Matilda', signed by both Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake, their signatures tipped-in to the title page, rare to find in such a lovely condition. It is a hard book to find as a true signed first edition. ![]() It was adapted as a film (1996) starring Mara Wilson and Danny DeVito. Matilda is, among many wonderful Dahl stories, perhaps Roald s most loved children s novel. This is a good sign and underlines the inscription s authenticity. As common with signed books by Dahl the ink has left a golden imprint on the reverse side including on the jacket s front flap. The dust jacket is not price clipped and is slightly faded on the spine. The page block is a little darkened commensurate with age. The boards are clean, the lettering on the spine clear and NOT rubbed out. Inscribed by Dahl on the ffep in his characteristic big letters: To Lesley | With Love | Roald | April, 1988. Roald Dahl (1988) Matilda, UK signed and inscribed first edition, first printing, published by Jonathan Cape. ![]()
