First UK edition, first printing. Hardcover, 24.1 x 16.2 cm, pp. 224. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in rarer, international export edition as denoted by the lack of price to front flap of the unclipped dust jacket. Illustrated with black ink and wash drawings by Quentin Blake throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very good copy, binding a very tiny bit slanted and covers a tad bowed, but binding remains firm, with corners a little worn and bumped and spine tips, with foxing to the closed text block. Pages are clean and uninscribed (a faint impression remains on the front free endpaper where a previous owner’s pencilled name was erased).  In the dust wrapper that is a little creased and nibbled to extremities, foxed on the flaps and on the inside, and with a very small portion of loss to foot of spine. A lovely example overall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sancho's Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53089187397971,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/5403\/5283\/files\/1988-Matilda-ROALD-DAHL-Jonathan-Cape-FIRST-EDITION-Illustrated-QUENTIN-BLAKE_1.webp?v=1771775565","url":"https:\/\/sanchosrarebooks.co.uk\/products\/matilda-roald-dahl-first-edition-illustrated-quentin-blake-jonathan-cape-1988","provider":"Sancho's Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
