Editor’s note Matilda is his best-rated book here, ahead of The BFG and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Its sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, rates lowest. For adults, Boy and Going Solo — his memoirs of childhood and of flying in the Second World War — rate almost as high as Matilda’s rivals.
