Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is another book that I can remember reading at an early age.

The book really captured my imagination as a child and i would imagine that it would still do so now. As a child it was very easy to believe that this could happen to you. The story was based around a little boy from a poor family who lives with his parents and both set of grandparents. There is a big marvelous chocolate factory in the town where Charlie the little boy lives and they decide to run a competition for 5 people to go and visit inside the chocolate factory and meet Willy Wonka the creator of all these marvelous confectionaries. This is a once in a lifetime trip as no one is ever seen entering or leaving the chocolate factory.

There have been 2 film adaptations of the book, but these have been called Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory which was released in 1971 and stared gene wilder which nearly everyone has seen.

And the modern Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 2005 film which was produced by Tim Burton which help create a dark side to the film and starred Johnny Depp.
