The story of the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a firm favourite for children and adults alike. Read this gorgeous illustrated gift edition, watch the famous film and tune in to David Walliams on Channel 4 presenting Chitty Flies Again. With the proceeds from his latest invention, Crackpot Whistling Sweets, Commander Caractacus Pott buys his family their first car. It looks like a wreck, but once restored it turns out to be no ordinary vehicle: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a magical car which can fly, swim and even think.

Gloriously illustrated by Joe Berger, and with a ribbon marker and a specially commissioned foreword, this beautiful hardback Macmillan Classics edition of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a truly wonderful gift to treasure.
