Roald Dahl – Little People, BIG DREAMS Book
Introduce young readers to the extraordinary life of one of the world's most beloved storytellers with Roald Dahl.
Growing up in Cardiff, Wales, young Roald loved reading, storytelling and visiting his local sweet shop for delicious chocolate treats. School was often challenging, and few people recognised his potential. Determined to make life an adventure, Roald travelled the world before serving as a pilot during the Second World War. Following a serious plane crash, he discovered a love for writing that would eventually lead him to become one of the most celebrated children's authors of all time.
From magical tales such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach to unforgettable characters and imaginative worlds, Roald Dahl's stories have captivated generations of readers. This thoughtful biography also explores the importance of words and actions, addressing the controversial antisemitic remarks made by Dahl during his lifetime and encouraging meaningful conversations about respect, kindness and responsibility.
Part of the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, this beautifully illustrated hardback introduces children to Roald's remarkable journey, featuring engaging artwork, fascinating facts, historical photographs and a detailed timeline of his life.
