oh happy day

Hey, guess what? It's Roald Dahl day today. To celebrate his birthday let's pause for a moment to reflect on a man with a joyous imagination and the ability to capture it in words and share it with the world. For Matilda, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach and so many more, Mr Dahl, thank you x

  2. we've got them all too. Along with almost every Dr Seuss. I sweat that these two men have inspired and fuelled my daughter's imagination and her writing ability - and have made for many a happy bedtime xx

  4. There is nothing as good as Roald Dahl - he was brilliant - I read the books to my daughter (sometimes I just read them for me!)

  5. My favourite Dahl is his short stories. I read them over and over. A twist in the tail. Divinity itself! The kids book are pretty good too, but it's all about me when it comes to Mr Dahl. x

  7. Mr Dahl and Mr Seuss are two of my absolute favorites..I think the BFG is my fave Dahl and it think the words from Dr. Seuss are to live by!

    Thanks Roald for all your wonderful stories xo

  8. I remember having the most dog earred copy of James and the Giant Peach. I think I read it 100 times by the time I was 12. :)

  9. I love Roald Dahl. My daughter was given the full set of his books as a gift. I can't wait until she's old enough to read them.
