Boy and Going Solo

Descriere

Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after "a monumental bash on the head", sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. Roald Dahl died in 1990. This book tells his story.

Boy is the story of Roald Dahl's very own boyhood, including tales of swent-shops and chocolate, mean old ladies and a Great Mouse Plot - the inspiration for some of his most marvellous storybooks in the years to come.
Going Solo tells of how, when he grew up. Roald Dahl left England for Africa and later went flying with the Royal Air Force, before he became the world's number-one storyteller.
