Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Ian Flemings beloved original text — newly illustrated by Joe Berger!
"Crackpot" is what everybody calls the Pott family. So when they go to buy a new car and come back with a wreck, nobody is surprised. Except for the Potts themselves. First, the car has a name. And she tells them what it is. Then they find out that she can fly. And swim. . . . Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a car on a mission to stop a criminal gang in its tracks — and she is taking the Potts with her! Jump into the worlds most loved magical car for her first adventure. About the AuthorIan Fleming, famous for creating James Bond, also loved fast cars — and this love spurred him to write his only childrens book, for his little boy, Caspar, about a car that could fly. Published just after Flemings death in 1964, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car became an immediate bestseller. It has been reinvented as a musical and as a film (with the screenplay written by Roald Dahl) and inspired two sequels written by Frank Cottrell Boyce.
