The BFG

The BFG is one of Dahl's most lovable character creations.  Whether galloping off with Sophie nestled into the soft skin of his ear to  capture dreams as though they were exotic butterflies; speaking his delightful,  jumbled, squib-fangled patois; or whizzpopping for the Queen, he leaves an  indelible impression of big-heartedness.

The Witches

The bond between the boy and his grandmother becomes the  centrepiece of the tale–a partnership of love and understanding that survives  even the boy's unfortunate transformation into a mouse. And once the two have  teamed up to outwitch the witches, the boy's declaration that he's glad he's a  mouse because he will now live only as long as his grandmother is far more  poignant than eerie.

The Twits
