SIGNED and INSCRIBED on the front free endpaper 'To Andrew and Rebecca /Love/Roald Dahl/1977'.

The book is considered the author's most enduring and popular work for children. The character of Willy Wonka will be played by Timothée Chalamet. A film exploring Willy Wonka's origins, entitled simply Wonka, is to be released in December 2023. A slightly reworked version ran on Broadway between 20. A musical with book by David Greig, music by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Scott Wittman included numbers from the 1971 film and ran in London between 20. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been made into two musical films, one in 1971 directed by Mel Stuart and starring Gene Wilder as Wonka, and another in 2005 directed by Tim Burton, with Johnny Depp as the factory owner.
The first state of the dust jacket does not carry an ISBN number on the lower cover. The first issue can be distinguished by the six lines of printing information on the final page this was cut to five in subsequent issues.
The US edition precedes the UK edition by three years. This is, in the words of biographer Donald Sturrock, Dahl's "most famous children's book". First edition, first printing, first issue, in the first state dust jacket.
