Author and PPA Columnist of the Year Lucy Mangan is joining us on Wednesday 10 September between 9 and 10pm for a webchat about her latest book, Inside Charlie's Chocolate Factory.

Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Charlie, Lucy has delved deep into the archive to present the story behind Roald Dahl's best-loved classic. Bringing together rare extracts, unseen characters and early designs from the book, as well as behind-the-scenes photographs and actors? personal accounts from both stage and screen adaptations, Mangan explores the cultural impact of one of the most widely loved children?s stories of all time.

She will be taking your questions about all things Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on the evening of Wednesday 10th September, including why there were originally ten children in the factory and why some chapters didn't make the cut. Save the date or post your questions or thoughts on the book to Lucy on this thread and watch this space for info about some great prizes to be won during the webchat.

@ibbydibby

Sorry can't join in - Rachelmumsnet - you might want to delete this message after you have read it, but I noticed massive typo in announcement..

"Webchat tonight: Join journalist Lucy Mangan for a discussion tonight about Dahl's best loved classic and her latest book, which presents the story behind the gates of Wonker's factory. Take part in the chat and find out about the Charlie goodies up for grabs."

Shouldn't it be Wonka...?

Blush My sincere apologies to all Wonka fans {shuffles off to dunce corner}
