Matilda - Roald Dahl's best-loved story - though now over 30 years old, is as fresh, funny and poignant as when it was first published in 1988.
The story of a child genius, it has been adapted into film and, most recently, a hugely successful, award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.
