The peach then rolls off of a cliff several miles away and lands in the Atlantic Ocean.įrom this point forward, James and his friends face a series of obstacles. Centipede cuts the peach away from its tree and the peach begins to roll, flattening everything in its way - including Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, who are killed. The next day James and his new companions begin their journey away from Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. When James enters the pit's inner chamber, he meets an odd assortment of creatures, who initially intimidate him: Miss Spider, Centipede, Earthworm, Old-Green-Grasshopper, and others. He begins to crawl through, and he eventually enters the hollow peach pit at the center of the fruit. He sees a hole at the bottom of the peach, and he realizes that this hole is the opening to a tunnel. The night after the first day of visitors, James sneaks out of the house to visit the peach. They forbid James from interfering, fearing that he will ruin their profit-making scheme. Seeking to capitalize on this strange event, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker set up a fence and begin charging admission to see the peach. As the three of them watch, the peach becomes larger and larger, until it is bigger than the aunts' entire house. James soon discovers the source of the commotion: a peach has begun to grow on a top branch of a previously barren peach tree. James is incredibly upset, but as he begins to resume his chores, he hears his aunts shouting. James is very excited, but as he runs back to his house to execute the instructions, he trips and the magical green objects burrow into the ground. If James follows a set of specific instructions (says the Old Man), something spectacular will happen. But on one particularly hard day, James's luck changes: an Old Man appears in the backyard garden and offers James a packet of magical green objects.

These relatives are very cruel to him, and he is incredibly lonely, since he has no friends yet longs to play with children his own age. James is consequently sent to live with his two aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. As Dahl's novel begins, the reader is introduced to James, a young boy who is orphaned when his parents are eaten by a rhinoceros.
