'''''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''''' (1964) is a children's book by British author [[Roald Dahl]]. This story of the adventures of young [[Charlie Bucket]] inside the chocolate factory of eccentric candymaker [[Willy Wonka]] is often considered one of the most beloved children's stories of the 20th century.
 
 
''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'' was first published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1964, and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin in 1967. The book was adapted into two major motion pictures: ''[[Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory]]'' in 1971, and ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'' in 2005. The book's sequel, ''[[Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator]]'', was written by Roald Dahl ...
