This English author is one of the most popular writers for children. He has a zany sense of humor. He creates fascinating characters and unusual plots. Dahl wrote in a hut, like Willy Wonka’s top-secret room. And he never allowed it to be dusted or even swept! Dahl adored some of his characters. In fact, he would sometimes pretend to be the BFG, or “Big Friendly Giant,” with an imaginary trumpet at his children’s windows. Dahl clearly remembered his own childhood. He used characters like little Sophie in the BFG to show how it felt to be a child in an adult world. Dahl believed that if an adult wanted to know what it’s like to live in a child’s world, the grown-up should “get down on his hands and knees and live like that for a week.” This author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Fantastic Mr. Fox kept two thick idea books where he jotted down ideas for books and characters. Many of his books were suggested in these journals years before they were written. You may especially enjoy the nasty characters in his books, such as Miss Trunchbull and the Twits, as well as the aunts in James and the Giant Peach. What is your favorite Roald Dahl book?
