Roald Dahl

Little Roald grew up in the city of Cardiff in Wales. He loved to spend time reading with his family and visiting the local sweetshop for yummy chocolatey treats. But he found school difficult. No one believed in Roald’s potential. Much later, in the shed at the bottom of his garden, he created wonderful stories which have captivated generations of children. This account of Dahl’s life also addresses his antisemitism and examines the power our words can have to delight or to cause harm.
