George's Marvellous Medicine 🖋 Roald Dahl

'He may have been only eight years old but he was a brave little boy. He was ready to take this old woman on.'

Have you ever heard a medicine 💊made with animal pills, liquid paraffin, plaster, lipstick💄 ,chilly sauce 🌶 and more??...you and I may not have ...but George certainly did.
 ⚠️WARNING: Please don't try to do so.

 📖 When George was left alone with his grandmother one day, all was presumed to go well. But his devilish grandmother wasn't like a normal one who would bake cookies 🍪 and tell stories, oh no .... she was a witch 🧙‍♀️(and a nasty one indeed)! Still, George had no plans to chicken out, for he had a brilliant idea, a plan, a scheme that would either have his grandma miraculously cured from her horrid ways or blown off the top of her head🤯! He would make her a medicine, a magic medicine🧪, one that no doctor in the world has ever made before. 

🖌🎨Illustrations of this book done by Quentin Blake accompanied by Roald Dahl's remarkable writing style makes this book unique. For a perfectionist the illustrations may not be an ideal choice however I enjoyed the way it was depicted quite a lot. According to me most of Roald Dahl's books are extremely risible and at moments quite absurd and George's Marvellous Medicine was no exception. Try enjoying this short novella for it will surely be WHOOPSEY-SPLUNKERS as he said.
