‘It’s hard to find the right word to express our levels of excitement around the Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary.

Squackling? Jumpsquiffling? Gigantuous?

Roald Dahl’s inventive, playful use of language is such a key element of his writing, whether he was using existing words in his own mischievous way or inventing extra-usual new ones. It is wonderful to have this dictionary compiled with such expertise, passion and wit by Dr Susan Rennie and the team at OUP. There could be no more fitting way to pay tribute to Roald in the year of celebrations for his centenary. Best of all, as a fullyfunctioning dictionary for readers and writers aged eight and above, I hope it serves as a swashboggling source of inspiration for a whole new generation of storytellers.’

LUKE KELLY, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE ROALD DAHL LITERARY ESTATE AND ROALD DAHL’S GRANDSON

• The Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary will be part of the huge programme of events marking the Roald Dahl 100 centenary which will celebrate the magical, inventive and unforgettable language of the World’s Number One Storyteller.

• Expect a major jumpsquiffling PR and marketing campaign to reach dillions of children (and grown ups) all around the world.

Silly spine-tingling fun with Winnie and Wilbur!

Winnie and Wilbur are settling down for a lazy afternoon. But when Wilbur accidently smashes Winnie’s vase, he hides to stay out of trouble. He then goes on to pull down the curtains and shatter a chandelier. Oops! Winnie just can’t explain these calamities and decides her house must be haunted. In her efforts to restore normality some spookily spectacular chaos ensues!

• This title gives readers the chance to explore every nook and cranny of Winnie’s incredible house, including rooms and scenes that readers will know and love.

• Fabulous comedic visual sequences with each Wilbur-induced calamity and his subsequent attempts to hide.

• Winnie and Wilbur are favourite characters all year round, and especially around World Book Day.
