The Enormous Crocodile (first published on 1st November 1978) is a British children's story, written by British author Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. A picture book written for younger readers than Dahl's other works, the story tells of a hungry crocodile who aims to eat human children via using various, not-quite-impenetrable disguises.[1]
The accompanying audiobook of The Enormous Crocodile is narrated alternately on the audio cassette and compact disc by Roger Blake and Stephen Fry. The story was adapted into a 1990 TV special by Abbey Home Entertainment and Tempo Video and distributed by Abbey Broadcast Communications.
