About the Author
Roald Dahl (1916–1990) was born in Llandaff,
South Wales, and went to Repton School in England. His parents were Norwegian,
so holidays were spent in Norway. As he explains in Boy, he turned
down the idea of university in favor of a job that would take him to “a
wonderful faraway place.” In 1933 he joined the Shell Company, which sent him
to Mombasa in East Africa. When World War II began in 1939, he became a fighter
pilot and in 1942 was made assistant air attaché in Washington, where he
started to write short stories. His first major success as a writer for
children was in 1964. Thereafter his children’s books brought him increasing
popularity, and when he died, children mourned the world over, particularly in
Britain where he had lived for many years.
