Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl - Numbered Edition

From the heart of the chocolate factory to the edges of space, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is the extraordinary sequel to Roald Dahl’s most beloved novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Last seen flying through the sky in a giant elevator in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie Bucket is back for another adventure. When the giant elevator picks up speed, Charlie, Willy Wonka and the gang are sent hurtling through space and time. Visiting the world’s first space hotel, battling the dreaded Vermicious Knids, and saving the world are only a few stops along this remarkable, intergalactic joyride.

First published in 1972, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator continues the whimsical journey of Charlie Bucket and his eccentric mentor Willy Wonka, propelling readers into a cosmic escapade that blends satire, science fiction and Dahl’s signature wit.
