A brand-new biography of Roald Dahl, re-evaluating the received narrative surrounding the life of the much-loved author and creator of numerous iconic literary characters - from one of our finest contemporary biographers.
Roald Dahl was one of the world's greatest storytellers. He considered his vocation to be as bold and exciting as an explorer's and, in his writing for children, he was able to tap into a child's viewpoint throughout his life. He crafted tales that were exotic in scenario, frequently invested with a moral, and filled with vibrant characters that endure in the public imagination to the present day.
