Roald Dahl
"'What!' cried the BFG. 'No frobscottle? No whizpopping? No glumptious music? No boom-boom-boom?'". The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre operates in the Buckinghamshire village where Roald Dahl lived and wrote many of his well loved books.

He's not just for kids
Roald Dahl - he's not just for kids. He is at his absolute sinister best when he writes those stories for sleepless nights, strictly for adults. He is very underrated; agreed he sold a bit, but well, no one really took him seriously. His greatest strength is his humor. God bless him, wherever he is.

Just try to hold back a joyous "Hooray!"
Roald Dahl's brilliant books never cease to inspire kids to read and read and read. My daughter and her school friends have devoured each and every title. They gasp in horror at the absolute selfishness and evilness of all the nasty adult characters and relish each perpetrator's inevitable comeuppance -- and in at least one case, complete disappearance! Matilda, George's Marvelous Medicine, and the BFG are big favorites, and no one can deny the pure genius of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Just try to hold back a joyous "Hooray!" when the disgusting aunts are squished by the Giant Peach!
