Published shortly after the author's death in 1990, 'The Minpins' is Roald Dahl's final work of children's literature, following a fulfilling career as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century." Little Billy ignores his mother's warnings about venturing into the forest and encounters the Red-Hot Smoke-Belching Gruncher which he must defeat to return home. Printed next to the vivid illustrations of Patrick Benson's imagination, 'The Minpins' brings one last fantastical adventure to fans of Dahl's literature.
