Matilda

Celebrating the milestone of 85 years, a stunning clothbound edition of the beloved modern classic "Matilda" has been released. This exquisite edition is crafted with authentic cloth, accented by dual colored foils, and features sprayed colored edges, making it an ideal gift or addition to a collector's repertoire. It is part of an eight-book series commemorating Puffin Books' 85th anniversary. Each book in this collection includes a newly written foreword, with "Matilda" featuring one by Robin Stevens. The books convey a reassuring message to Matilda: you are not alone. Matilda is an exceptional child with a remarkable intellect, yet her parents dismiss her as a bothersome child who squanders her time on books and tales. Adding to her challenges, her headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, is a formidable bully who believes children are dreadful and should be punished. Matilda must summon the strength to redefine her narrative and demonstrate the incredible potential of children. Collectors and readers can enjoy all eight titles in the Puffin Clothbound 85th Anniversary Collection. This series includes celebrated titles such as “The Story of Tracy Beaker” by Jacqueline Wilson, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney, “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White, “The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks” by Katie Kirby, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan, “Pig-Heart Boy” by Malorie Blackman, and “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio, each with its own insightful foreword by noted authors.
