George's grandma has some pretty odd views. In fact, she's not a very nice person at all. She thinks caterpillars and slugs are delicious and likes to crunch on beetles best of all. George can do nothing right in Grandma's eyes, so when it's time for her medicine he decides to give her a dose of his own special brew.

This book is great for children who have always dreamed to be mischievious towards their grandparents but never can, its funny to watch this boy acting horrid towards his grandma and get away with it. I reccommend this book for any child or adult that have a mischievious side.

best book ever!!!! this book has a lot of character to it and it is just an amazing book! you have never read the best book on earth till you read this one! this book is recommended! :) _emma lee palmer

Rather enjoyed this child break so that I'm not constantly reading about mutilated bodies and such, but I would rate the stories as:
1st: George's marvelous medicine - short and fun, although it has a real abrupt end which I do not care for

I thought this book was a great read. It had sad moments and funny moments . The truchball was my favorite character in this book. The main reason I loved this book was that it was not very predictable . For instance the last book I read I read 2 chapters and I figured out the ending . It also makes you have a lot of Emotions. Like when Matilda decided to live with miss honey or Jenny. I recommend this book to children like me who love a funny fiction read.

its such a touching story

Purchased in Eason's O'Connell Street many many years ago. I lent this out to my younger siblings and reclaim it

Great set of stories, one wonders what children get out of them as you reread them in adulthood.

Definitely most identified with George's medicine brewing, but the other two stories in the omnibus are fun.

Loved both The BFG and Matilda. Loved Dahl’s dark humor and social commentary woven into his brand of children’s fiction. But there was just something lacking about George’s Marvelous Medicine that made it feel like a child-friendly South Park episode.

I read this one so much it started to fall to bits lol, a definite childhood favourite. All three of these stories will capture your imagination whether young or old. Dahl has a clear talent for providing just enough to get your imaginative juices flowing

I love this book there are different story's in it like Matilda George's marvellous medicine and the bfg.

Really cool thanks

I have loved reading this from a young age And still its a great read

Amazing book, was my childhood favourite.
