This title presents a complete and unabridged recording of this classic Dahl tale, read by Richard E. Grant. George's grandma has some very odd views. In fact, she's not a very...
more...nice person at all. She thinks caterpillars and slugs are delicious and likes to crunch on beetles best of all. George can do nothing right in Grandma's eyes, so when its time for her medicine, he decided to give her a dose of his own special brew.

Grizzly Old Grunion
Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl by jillmurphy

Advantages: Funny funny funny. Naughtiness gets its just deserts.
Disadvantages: I truly can't think of any.

George's grandmother is a grizzly old grunion. George dreads being left alone with her when his mother goes shopping on a Saturday morning and if you knew his grandmother you really wouldn't blame him. She does nothing but criticise and get him into trouble by telling tales on him to his parents. Half the tales aren't even true.

Pig Pills, Horseradish, Anti-Freeze and Lipstick
Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl by LR_17

Advantages: The entire book!
Disadvantages: Absolutely nothing!

...books that he has done, George's Marvellous Medicine is my favourite. I have nearly every Roald Dahl book he's ever written. Roald Dahl is a very easy author to spot and not just by his stories. The pictures that come with the books are very distinctive and when ever I see a drawing of that style, I know that it's a Roald Dahl book. The artist behind the drawings is the very talented Quentin Blake, who I think has made his name by doing the drawings ... Read review
