Dahl Roald

Roald Dahl was born in 1916 in Wales to Norwegian parents. He was educated in England before starting work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa, and began writing after a ‘monumental bash on the head’ sustained as an RAF fighter pilot during the Second World War. He worked in a tiny hut in the apple orchard of his house in Buckinghamshire until his death in 1990 at the age of seventy-four. Roald Dahl’s many books continue to be loved by readers the world over, who delight in the magic of his marvellous storytelling.
