Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is a children's book by British author Roald Dahl. It is the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, continuing the story of young Charlie Bucket and chocolatier Willy Wonka as they travel in the Great Glass Elevator. The book was published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1972, a year after Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin in 1973.
Although the original book has enjoyed several screen adaptations, The Great Glass Elevator has never been adapted for a visual medium. However, it was adapted for audio by Puffin Audio Books starring Neil Answych as Charlie Bucket and Gordan Fairclough as Willy Wonka, and the second half of a BBC adaptation for Radio 4 in 1983.[1][2]
