But the others will be whiffling off to all sorts of flungaway places like Wellington for the booty flavour and Panama for the hatty taste. In 2003 it was ranked number 56 in The Big Read, a two-stage survey of the British public by the BBC to determine the "Nation's Best-loved Novel".

We also find out that the Fleshlumpeater has one major weakness: He's a coward (afraid of many different things), which is how Sophie and the BFG capture him. He then uses a long trumpet-like thing to blow the dreams through children’s windows to give them nice and happy dreams. Japanese beans is very small, so a giant will need to gobble up about six Japanese before he is feeling full up.On 25 December 1989, ITV broadcast an animated film based on the book and produced by Cosgrove Hall Films on television, with David Jason providing the voice of the BFG and Amanda Root as the voice of Sophie. Luckily, the larger giant spits her out unnoticed and leaves in disgust, much to the BFG's and Sophie's relief. In his sleep, while Fleshlumpeater dreams of escaping the terrible Jack, he smacks a giant and kicks another. It was published in the Mail on Sunday and originally a straight adaptation, with scripts accepted by Roald Dahl himself.

Having collected the BFG's dream collection, the helicopters carry the giants back to England, where they are imprisoned in a massive pit. Being the leader of the giants, Fleshlumpeater is also the one giant who poses a problem in the plan that the BFG and Sophie devise to capture them. Before letting the BFG leave peacefully, Fleshlumpeater suddenly grabs him with his two gigantic hands and tosses him high into the air. According to the BFG, the flavours of the humans that the man-eating giants dine on depends on their country of origin: Turks taste like turkey, Greeks are too greasy (and hence apparently no giant ever visits that country), people from Panama taste like hats, the Welsh taste like fish, people from Jersey taste like cardigans, and the Danes taste like dogs.

When the BFG stopped catching dreams early because of a trogglehumper, or nightmare, Sophie can see that the BFG is a sensitive giant. Even after being very cautious, Fleshlumpeater woke up and grabbed a soldier, laughing as he is preparing to eat him. The BFG has won numerous awards including the 1985 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis as the year's best children's book, in its German translation Sophiechen und der Riese [16] and the 1991 Read Alone and Read Aloud BILBY Awards from the Children's Book Council of Australia.

Between 1986 and 1998, the novel was adapted into a newspaper comic by journalist Brian Lee and artist Bill Asprey. Yes, he’s had problematic moments – he participates in human trafficking, is party to an imperialist invasion, and says that Greek people taste bad – but cut him a break. Despite Roald Dahl having enjoined his publishers not to "so much as change a single comma in one of my books", in February 2023 Puffin Books, a division of Penguin Books, announced it would be re-writing portions of many of Dahl's children's novels, changing the language to, in the publisher's words, "ensure that it can continue to be enjoyed by all today.Every country that the giants had visited in the past sends thanks and gifts to the BFG and Sophie, for whom residences are built in Windsor Great Park. Dahl's publishers in the United States, France, and the Netherlands announced they had declined to incorporate the changes.
