Roald Dahl
25 10 2006
I know when I was much young my mother insisted that we read Roald Dahl and enjoy it. At the time I didn’t really appreciate it but now I am much more into the weirdness and poetry of it.
I notice there is a quick doco on him this week which is probably worth a look. I saw a longer one on a DVD, perhaps the recent Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, and it was really good.
