Description
Here is a book full of Roald Dahl's childhood experiences from some early childhood memories to his days at boarding school. The relived and retold memories are given in such vivid description and emotion. Many of his stories include pictures of he and his family or school, as well as letters he had written to his mother while he was away. Some of the pages may be relaying a happy, sad, scary, anxious, or exciting time in his life; all of them having an impact on who he is to us today. Though his childhood was many decades ago, children today can learn from, and even relate to many of his stories. Although this book was written for children, many older teens and adults may still enjoy these stories about the childhood experiences of one man.
