| Résumé : |
George had a miserable Granma - a grousing, grouching old thing who wouldn't leave him alone. She was selfish and ugly, hated children and sometimes was frightening that George suspectef her of being a witch. "Don't forget my medecine", she bullied. No, George would not forget Grandma's medecine. He had special plans for her 11 o'clock spoonful - the nasty devilish sort of plan hatched only in a Roald Dahl story.
If the medecine George was concocting didn't actually cure Grandma, it would at least produce some interesting results. It contained everything he could find around the house - including shaving cream and a yellow liquid to cure cows with crumpled horns. It was a brew so full of wizardry, with a smell so bewitching, that George found himself chanting strange words that came into his head out of nowhere. And what it did to Grandma must be seen in Quentin Blake's fabulous pictures to be believed - not to mention what happened in the farmyard.
Some children may have throught that the Twists - the ghastly couple in Roald Dahl's last story illustrated by Quentin Blake - were about as horrible as people can get. But then they haven't yet met Grandma. |
