The BFG, short for “The Big Friendly Giant,” is a beloved children’s novel by Roald Dahl, first published in 1982. The story follows a young orphan named Sophie who befriends the BFG, a gentle giant who, unlike his peers, does not eat humans. Together, they embark on an adventure to stop the other giants from terrorizing the human world. The book was well-received upon its release and has since become a classic in children’s literature. It has sold millions of copies worldwide and continues to be a favorite among readers of all ages. In 2003, it was listed at number 56 in the BBC’s The Big Read survey, and in 2012, it was ranked among the top 100 children’s novels by the School Library Journal. The BFG has been adapted into various formats, including a 1989 animated film and a 2016 live-action film directed by Steven Spielberg. The 2016 adaptation, starring Mark Rylance as the BFG, received praise for its faithful representation of Dahl’s whimsical and imaginative world.
