Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl is the UK’s No.1 storyteller of all time. Before he became a writer, he was a spy and a fighter pilot in World War II. One of his first moments of inspiration came when he was at boarding school, when a local chocolate factory invited pupils to trial new chocolate bars – 35 years later, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was published. He wrote lots more brilliant stories, many from his writing hut in his back garden in Great Missenden; from Sophie’s adventures with the BFG and James’ journey on the Giant Peach, to Matilda’s brilliant bravery against The Trunchbull. Each of his stories is an unexpected adventure to the weirdest, wonkiest and most wonderful worlds, that continue to enthral generations of kids and adults alike.
