A chapter that was cut from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory has now been published.
Characters Wilbur Rice and Timothy Troutbeck were deemed too wild and did not make it into the final version of Roald Dahl's classic book.
In the lost chapter, which is entitled
Fudge Mountain, the boys and their "vile parents" shout at Willy Wonka, ignoring his warnings. They are then carried off in wagons through a hole in the wall of the room.
The chapter was found among Roald Dahl's papers after his death and it
has just been published by The Guardian.
It was originally chapter five in an early draft of the book but was cut from the version published in the US in 1964 and in the UK in 1967.
It describes how Charlie was accompanied by his mother to the chocolate factory, and not his grandfather Charlie Bucket. Dahl also explains how the children were taken into the Vanilla Fudge Room and shown the sinister Pounding and Cutting Room.
In the chapter, Roald Dahl had written: “In the centre of the room there was an actual mountain, a colossal jagged mountain as high as a five-storey building, and the whole thing was made of pale-brown, creamy, vanilla fudge.
“All the way up the sides of the mountain, hundreds of men were working away with picks and drills, hacking great hunks of fudge out of the mountainside ... As the huge hunks of fudge were pried loose, they went tumbling and bouncing down the mountain and when they reached the bottom they were picked up by cranes with grab-buckets, and the cranes dumped the fudge into open wagons".
