This edition is lovely, with the original artwork included in colour. I read it to my youngest, one chapter a night as a bedtime story. It's been years since I read this one and I had definitely forgotten some things were in this book. No spoilers, and nothing bad, I just misremembered certain bits as being in one of the sequels.

Children will find the book entertaining, especially if you do voices for the different characters.
