It was published by Harcourt in 1966. It had been passed up by Doubleday, as they didn't want it unless it had a happy ending where Charlie kept his intelligence and married Alice!

As the book has sold five million copies, all around the world, and been in continuous print for the past 44 years, spawning a movie, two TV shows, several musicals and plays and a couple of songs, that was probably a poor decision on their part!

Yet another movie adaptation, starring Will Smith, should be out sometime this year.
