MEDIA REVIEWS
A shimmering fabric of his yesterdays,the magic and the hurt-ObserverBrilliantly coloured,sometimes grotesque and sometimes magical-Sunday TimesAs frightening and funny as his fiction-New York Times Book Review
Roald Dahl
Dahl gifted readers some of literature's most abiding and wonderful characters,from the lovable dream-whispering,word-mangling giant,the BFG,to magical Matilda,chocolate-maker extraordinaire Willy Wonka and many more. Endlessly inventive and laugh-out- loud funny,Dahl's stories reinvent the world for every new generation. They are rightly ranked among the greatest classics of children's fiction,stories that celebrate kindness,bravery and hope. Oh and whizzpopping.
