Vasu writes the following about James and the Giant Peach :

James Harry Trotter is the name of an orphaned boy whose parents were eaten up by enormous angry rhinoceros which escaped from the London Zoo.
James was then sent to his aunts’ home since his home near the seaside had to be sold immediately. His aunts, Sponge and Spiker, treated him very badly and called him names like ‘disgusting little beast, filthy nuisance, hideous brat’.
One day, James found an old man who gave him some magic seeds which grew into a gigantic peach.
During the night, James was in the garden and he was found a hole in the peach. He crept up it and saw many large creatures such as Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Miss Spider, Silkworm, Glow-worm, Earthworm and Ladybird.
All 8 of them go on a fun-filled journey which include seeing Cloud-men making rainbows, being attacked by sharks and many more.
After their wonderful journey, when they finally landed in New York, James wrote a book about his adventures and its name was ‘James and the Giant Peach.’
I would never want to change this story as it is very fabulous and interesting.
