"Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, Our hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!"

***I used to have this book when I was a kid, but I lent it to someone and never got it back. So I had it listed on my wishlist and what should turn up in the mail today but a copy of this fantastic book!

Many, many thanks to lovemylife who sent me this gorgeous surprise. Thank you lovemylife! You really made my day and were too, too kind. :)
