Level 1 - Roald Dahl

This is the space for submitting reviews of Roald Dahl's books (just click on 'Comments').

Roald Dahl was born in Wales 1916 to Norwegian parents. As a young man he served in the RAF, until 1942 when as an invalid in the USA, he discovered he could make money from writing. At first he wrote for adults, then in 1961 James and the Giant Peach was published. It was inspired by bedtime stories he told his children. He became the most successful children's author in the world. Find out more at the great new website http://www.roalddahl.com/.

The Library has most of his children's books as well as his collected stories for adults, and his autobiography Going Solo.
