Description

The Roald Dahl Treasury brings together some of the most dazzling moments from his work for kids. In this collection, we see Dahl in all his moods and it shows why his writing has become an essential part of childhood the world over. Four themed sections – “Animals,” “Magic,” “Family, Friends & Foes” and “Matters of Importance” – take the reader on a journey into Roald Dahl’s unique imagination. In each section, there is a mix of complete stories, extracts from longer fiction, rhymes and memoirs as well as unpublished poetry and letters. A host of Roald Dahl’s best-loved characters are here, from the Enormous Crocodile to Willy Wonka, from the Minpins to the Twits, from James to Matilda.
