More About the Author
Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Llandaff, South Wales, and went to Repton School in England. His parents were Norwegian, so holidays were spent in Norway. As he explains in Boy, he turned down the idea of university in favor of a job that would take him to"a wonderful faraway place. In 1933 he joined the Shell Company, which sent him to Mombasa in East Africa. When World War II began in 1939 he became a fighter pilot and in 1942 was made assistant air attaché in Washington, where he started to write short stories. His first major success as a writer for children was in 1964. Thereafter his children's books brought him increasing popularity, and when he died children mourned the world over, particularly in Britain where he had lived for many years.The BFG is dedicated to the memory of Roald Dahls eldest daughter, Olivia, who died from measles when she was seven - the same age at which his sister had died (fron appendicitis) over forty years before. Quentin Blake, the first Children's Laureate of the United Kingdom, has illustrated most of Roald Dahl's children's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this book! I read it over and over!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Las Brujas/the Witches (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I read this book so many times in third grade that I knew it by heart! I love the way that Mr. Dahl "alerts" you to the danger of witches. After I read the book for the first time, I began to watch people for signs of being a witch, including my teacher. THIS BOOK SHOULD BE IN EVERY LIBRARY! It doesn't scare little kids because it has a happy ending, though open ended. I think I even enjoyed being scared. I went on to read the rest of Mr. Dahl's books. I'd give this one two thumb up

This book rocks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Las Brujas/the Witches (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I first read this book in elementary school, in 2nd grade. Since then, I've always made sure to read it at least once a year. It's almost become a tradition! I LOVE Roald Dahl's books, and I incorporate him in my life. For my speech team, I performed a poem from "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" and won 2nd place! I think every child should read this book at least once in their lifetime.
