"George's Marvellous Medicine" by Roald Dahl is a captivating and imaginative tale that follows the mischievous young boy, George, on an extraordinary adventure.
Living with his cranky and self-centered grandmother, George decides to teach her a lesson by creating a special concoction. With no intention of making a regular medicine, George begins mixing anything and everything he can find in his house, resulting in a truly marvellous and unpredictable potion.
As George gives his grandmother the medicine, something inexplicable happens. The potion not only changes her appearance but also imbues her with incredible abilities. George's grandmother grows taller, stronger, and even starts speaking in a peculiar language.
Thrilled by the unexpected outcome, George continues his experiments, brewing new mixtures and causing further extraordinary transformations. He creates potions that can make animals grow to enormous sizes and turn them into peculiar creatures.
