James and the Giant Peach

The Scented Peach Edition.

After James Henry Trotter’s parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he is sent to live with his two dreadful aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life with them is miserable—until one day, James accidentally drops a handful of magic crystals by an old peach tree. Suddenly, extraordinary things begin to happen. A single peach at the top of the tree grows to the size of a house, and inside, James discovers a group of extraordinary, larger-than-life friends: Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the giant peach begins to roll away—and James’s incredible adventure begins!
