The BFG with Sophie in his cave
細節
Quentin Blake (b. 1932)
The BFG with Sophie in his cave
The BFG and Sophie inside his cave, stacked floor to ceiling with jars of dreams. After a young orphan called Sophie spots the BFG at his nightly work – catching dreams with a long-handled net, then using his dream trumpet to blow the nice ones into little children’s minds as they sleep – he kidnaps her lest she tell anyone that she has seen a giant. Returning to his cave, hanging up his enormous swooshing cloak, he tells Sophie the nature of his work and, allaying her fears, that ‘BFG’ stands for ‘Big Friendly Giant’.
Preliminary drawing for page 17 of the 1982 edition of The BFG by Roald Dahl.
