魔法のゆび (児童図書館・文学の部屋)

I'm curious about what sparked the idea for this whimsical story and how he decided on this unique magical power for the characters.

The story wraps up with a moral twist that made me wonder if Dahl intended to make the lesson clear or leave some room for interpretation.

The themes feel timeless, but I wonder if modern kids see the humor and lessons in the same way as when it was first written.
