It has been some time since literary London events have caught the public attention with such an overwhelming frenzy. The Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake Exhibition, being displayed as a part of the Snozzcumbers and Frobscottle London shows are already enthralling individuals from all walks of life. The Snozzcumbers and Frobscottle London exhibition can be understood as the most exclusive of travelling art shows that London has ever hosted. For the moment, it has been scheduled at the V&A Museum of Childhood and is being organised by the Seven Stories Museum — an establishment that has a reputation for providing the best in children's literature. Some folks have gone on to dub it as among the best of art events that London has witnessed in recent times although it does not boast of any great artists. The reason lies in the wonderful manner in which some brilliant and a few outrightly bizarre creations have been exhibited. Most of them have never been displayed in a public forum and they combine the expanse of Dahl's grand imagination with Blake's sense of creating typically detailed illustrations.

Initially, thought of as an event meant for the children, the Snozzcumbers and Frobscottle London exhibition is now being regarded as one of London’s most prestigious art shows. It has been successful in providing artistic insights to what made Quentin Blake illustrations so amazingly different. Further, this is the first time that an art event has taken the initiative to explain the kind of creative process that that made Dahl's characters so real life-like and hence, engaged the attention of book readers across all genres. The Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake Exhibition has something that no other contemporary art shows can ever offer. It displays Dahl's infamous Norwegian sandal that inspired the now popular BFG footwear design. Also, Dahl and Blake fans must not miss the opportunity to see authentic video footage of Blake’s work in progress, at his London studio — another first-of-a-kind for London art events along with an audio recording of Dahl himself reading his favourite stories. Further, how many exhibitions in London have been able to invite the presence of Quentin Blake in person, who will be at V&A Museum to interact with his fans.

If you are a Big Friendly Giant fan then attending this event cannot be an option for you — no other London exhibition has been able to put-up such a huge BFG cave replica, complete with the essential ingredients, i.e. Snozzcumbers and Frobscottle, along with the Dream Catchers. What started out as a travelling exhibition of the best in children’s literature has now progressed into the most sought-after London events with the best in Dahl and Blake collaboration being put on display. There are ample of resources to explain how this creative team gelled together to create what are essentially contemporary reading masterpieces. Those who had been complaining about the lack of children-themed shows in London that could also serve as entertaining social events for the adults in the family should definitely attend the Snozzcumbers-Frobscottle Exhibition. To popularize it as a part of happening London social events, the entire exhibition is being offered as the ‘Frobscottle Weekend’. It opened with the exhibition ceremony on 2nd May and is scheduled to go on until 6th September 2009. There is no entry fee and there are no age restrictions either. The timings are from 10:00 to 17:45 and the attendance crescendo peaks during the evening hours.
