THE Roald Dahl Treasury (£12.99, Penguin Books) is a perfect gift for all lovers of the renowned bestselling author. The man himself said: "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it" but there are touches of magic on every page of this book.

Children will be entertained for hours by some of Dahl's best loved characters, such as The Twits, The Witches, James and the Giant Peach and Willy Wonka. See the stories come alive with the help of Quentin Blake's drawings which will have children mesmerized. Definitely a book to keep and treasure for years.
