Amusing, but Dahl fans immediately see the problem - James and the Giant Peach was written first! 🍑

Publisher: So you've given us a book about a big friendly giant, one about an enormous crocodile, and another where a granny takes a magic medicine and grows as big as a house. What's new?
Roald Dahl: There's this peach...
Publisher: Is it -
Roald Dahl: It's fucking huge

The new drama “When Roald Met Beatrix” purports to be based on a true story, yet I can find no mention of this supposed meeting between these celebrated authors in either Sturrock or Treglown’s bios... 🤔 Can anybody point to an actual source? @skytv https://britishperioddramas.com/news/roald-beatrix-the-tail-of-the-curious-mouse-dawn-french/
