| General note |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a celebrated children's novel written by Roald Dahl and first published in 1964. It is known for its imaginative storytelling, quirky characters, and strong moral undertones. The story follows Charlie Bucket, a poor but good-hearted boy who wins a once-in-a-lifetime tour of Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory. Through a series of fantastical events, the novel explores themes such as honesty, humility, greed, and the consequences of poor behavior. Each child in the story, except Charlie, represents a particular vice, and their fates serve as humorous but pointed lessons. The book is richly illustrated (often by Quentin Blake in later editions) and remains a staple in children's literature worldwide. It is widely used in classrooms for its engaging narrative, vocabulary development, and moral reflection. The novel has inspired several film adaptations and continues to be a favorite for both independent reading and read-aloud sessions. |

| Summary, Abstract, Review |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a classic children’s novel that follows the story of Charlie Bucket, a kind and humble boy from a poor family. Charlie’s life changes dramatically when he wins one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bars, granting him entry into the magical and mysterious chocolate factory owned by the eccentric Willy Wonka. Alongside four other children—each with their own exaggerated flaws—Charlie embarks on a fantastical tour of the factory. As they journey through chocolate rivers, nut-sorting squirrels, and inventing rooms, one by one, the other children fall victim to their own greed, pride, or bad behavior, leaving only Charlie. Impressed by Charlie’s honesty and good heart, Willy Wonka rewards him with the ultimate prize: ownership of the factory itself. The book combines imagination, humor, and moral lessons, emphasizing values like kindness, humility, and self-control. With vivid characters and whimsical settings, it has become one of the most beloved works in children’s literature. |
