Jack was nimble, Jack was keen. He scrambled up the mighty bean.

This is Jack and the Beanstalk as you’ve never known it before in this darkly comic twist on a classic fairy tale.

Jack’s mother is furious that Jack has traded their cow for a single bean – until she realises the bean has sprouted into a ginormous beanstalk with golden leaves! But when Jack discovers there’s a hungry giant with a keen sense of smell at the top of the beanstalk and comes home empty handed, his mother takes matters into her own hands . . .

With brand-new and wickedly funny illustrations alongside Roald Dahl’s original rhyming text, this picture book is perfect for those who like their fairy tales with a splash of daring and danger!

This picture book edition of Jack and the Beanstalk is a version of the original text by Roald Dahl first published in Revolting Rhymes in 1982, and as such the content reflects the attitudes and culture of the time.
