All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight.
And Lane Smith\'s endearingly funny illustrations are a perfect match for the text.
This happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know.
Their adventures aboard a luscious Peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City.

How James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order.
