The Life and Works of Roald Dahl
The Life and Works of Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl was born on September 13th 1916. His life was as dramatic and tragic as any of his stories – a life in which he played many parts during his 74 years. Many of those events turned up in the books we loved to read when we were children and then read to our own children. Thanks for the happy times, Mr Dahl.
