An exceptional collector’s copy of Roald Dahl’s autobiography.

This is the true First UK Edition, First Impression published by Jonathan Cape in 1984. Unlike later reprints or modern "sensitivity-edited" versions, this contains the original, unaltered text and layout as Dahl intended.

Key Features for Collectors:True 1st Printing: Verified by the 1984 Jonathan Cape copyright page (no reprint history).Unclipped Dust Jacket: The original price is still present on the inner flap (highly rare).Pristine Internals: The dark blue boards and gold gilt spine lettering are immaculate.Original Endpapers: Includes the iconic black-and-white photographic endpapers in excellent condition.

Condition Report:The Book: Near Fine / Fine. The binding is tight, pages are crisp and white, and there is no writing or "gift inscriptions." Features a small, neat gold owner’s bookplate on the front endpaper.The Dust Jacket: Very Good. The jacket is bright and unclipped. It shows some light dampstaining/marking around the edges (please refer to photos), but has no major chips or tears.
