Roald Dahl

Little Roald loved to spend time reading with his family and visiting the local sweetshop for yummy chocolatey treats. Roald grew up and travelled the world. He served his country in World War II, although became blind for a period of time due to a plane crash. Roald wrote about his experience of the crash, and enjoyed doing it so much that from then on, he knew he wanted to be an author. Roald began crafting books for children and captivated generations of readers with his wonderful stories. The antisemitic remarks that Roald Dahl made during his lifetime are also addressed, highlighting the power and impact that our words can have: both to delight or cause lasting harm. This thoughtful book features quirky illustrations, a biographical timeline and historical photos.
