From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda!
George’s grandma is a grouch! She’s always mean to George (and not much nicer to his parents, either). One day, when George is put in charge of giving Grandma her medicine, he wonders if he can come up with his own remedy to try and help Grandma become less of a grump. Using some rather unusual ingredients, George creates a magic medicine, a remedy for everything. But will it stop his grandma from being so horrible . . . or will it shoot sparks out of the top of her head?!

      Knopf includes George's Marvelous Medicine and Fantastic Mr. Fox in its roster of handsomely redesigned hardcover Roald Dahl reissues. In the first novel, George comes up with a potion to improve the mood of his grumpy grandma; the second centers on the efforts of farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean to catch the titular thief. Both feature Quentin Blake's original illustrations and include an interview with the author.
