MEDIA REVIEWS
His account of life as a fighter pilot in the Western Desert and in Greece has the thrilling intensity and the occasional grotesqueness of his fiction-Sunday TimesVery nearly as grotesque as his fiction. The same compulsive blend of wide-eyed innocence and fascination with danger and horror-Evening StandardA non-stop demonstration of expert raconteurship-The 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.
