The Big Read listed The Twits as one of the 200 greatest books of all time according to the British public in 2003, and in 2012, the Twits appeared on a commemorative postage stamp. The book was adapted for the stage in 2007, and an animated feature film is scheduled to be released in 2025. Dahl (1916-1990) was a prolific British author of books for young readers, having written classics such as Matilda (1988), James and the Giant Peach (1961), The BFG (1982), and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), and his collective works have sold over 300 million copies worldwide.
