Roald Dahl

0/5 ( ratings)

When Roald Dahl was in boarding school in England, there was little indication he would ever be a writer. His English Composition teachers claimed he had limited ideas and little ability. Though he had no ambition to be a writer at the time, he wouldn't have listened to his critics anyway. Roald did what made him happy him with little regard for what others had to say. In fact, even after he became a famous author, his books received mixed reviews from librarians and educators. But the children have always loved his books and that is who Roald set out to please. Author of such classics as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, and James and the Giant Peach.
