Last week, Cath Kidston announced that it would be releasing a new collection with designs relating to the character of Matilda from the Roald Dahl children's book.

The retailer is known for its collaborations and has previously teamed up with Disney and Warner Bros.

Announcing the upcoming range, Cath Kidston said: "In a season where we anchor our storytelling in the importance of arts, Roald Dahl’s Matilda inspired our print team through her story of self belief and bravery.

"Join us for a celebration of one of the best-loved characters in literature. Matilda is at the heart of this special series of pieces and prints - one we can’t wait to share with our community and coming soon."
