Throughout my young days at school and just afterwards a number of things happened to me that I have never forgotten'.
"Boy" is a funny, insightful and at times grotesque glimpse into the early life of Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors. As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world-famous, best-selling books, Roald Dahl's tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose in a car accident? Or that he was once a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's? Have you heard about his involvement in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you don't yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl. Sure to captivate and delight you, the boyhood antics of this master storyteller are not to be missed!
This is the unadulterated childhood - sad and funny, macabre and delightful - that inspired our most-loved children's writer.
