About the Author
The son of Norwegian parents, Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916 and educated at Repton. He was a fighter pilot for the RAF during the Second World War, and it was while writing about his experiences during this time that he started his career as an author. His fabulously popular children's books are read by children all over the world. He died in November 1990.
Review
"A gorgeous volume illustrated by some of the best ... demonstrates how funny and sharp at rollicking forms Dahl could be" -- Nicollette Jones The Sunday Times "Delightful to read aloud, with the rhythyms, humour and vocabulary perfect for inspiring young children with the joys of language. Dahl's exuberant mastery and love of words shine through every page" Guardian "It's the sort of indulgence that does you no end of good" Carousel "This wonderful compendium includes the best of Dahl's high-spirited ryhmes ... an international and award-winning lin-up of illustrators do admirable justice to Dahl's witty, sparkling and appealing verse. It will make the perfect gift for all Dahl fans" The Good Book Guide "A beautiful gift book, a glorious collection" Publishing News
