Matilda & The Miracle Child is a celebration of the power of children. Yet Roald Dahl's famous story – as well as its two main protagonists, the child genius Matilda and the evil headmistress Miss Trunchbull – went through many versions before arriving at their final incarnations. Using a wealth of visual archival material, and a colour palette themed around the two rivals, the book explores the process of how the story, the concept and the characters evolved and how the book became a manual for self-empowerment.
