Book Description

Following the success of his stage adaptation of "The BFG", David Wood has now written a series of scenes, or "playlets" for performance by children in schools and other amateur groups. With notes on simple staging, props and costumes, these plays can be performed with the minimum of experience or resources.

Evidently not even Roald Dahl could resist the acronym craze of the early eighties. BFG? Bellowing ferret-faced golfer? Backstabbing fairy godmother? Oh, oh... Big Friendly Giant! This BFG doesn't seem all that F at first as he creeps down a London street, snatches little Sophie out of her bed, and bounds away with her to giant land. And he's not really all that B when compared with his evil, carnivorous brethren, who bully him for being such an oddball runt. After all, he eats only disgusting snozzcumbers, and while the other Gs are snacking on little boys and girls, he's blowing happy dreams in through their windows. What kind of way is that for a G to behave?

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 bigheartedness.

一个瘦瘦的、透顶的、总是带着一脸狡黠的笑的老头，无论他跑到美国、英国、荷兰、德国、法国、澳大利亚或新西兰，当然现在也包括中国，随便敲开一家有小孩子的屋子说：“啊，我走累了，我的车用光了汽油，可以请我进来喝杯茶吗？”孩子们会立刻尖叫着，欢呼雀跃地迎他进门，因为没有孩子不认识这个老头，他就是那个让大人们有点害怕、让孩子们疯狂着迷的罗尔德·达尔。
