About the author
Roald Dahl
1,457 books24.8k followersRoald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.
Dahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. S. Forester, was Shot Down Over Libya. Today the story is published as A Piece of Cake. The story, about his wartime adventures, was bought by the Saturday Evening Post for $900, and propelled him into a career as a writer. Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate and sensationalized article about the crash that blinded him, which claimed he had been shot down instead of simply having to land because of low fuel.
His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. The book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made, and published in 1943. Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach.
He also had a successful parallel career as the writer of macabre adult short stories, usually with a dark sense of humour and a surprise ending. Many were originally written for American magazines such as Ladies Home Journal, Harper's, Playboy and The New Yorker, then subsequently collected by Dahl into anthologies, gaining world-wide acclaim. Dahl wrote more than 60 short stories and they have appeared in numerous collections, some only being published in book form after his death. His stories also brought him three Edgar Awards: in 1954, for the collection Someone Like You; in 1959, for the story "The Landlady"; and in 1980, for the episode of Tales of the Unexpected based on "Skin".

This wonky, interactive Christmas tale is so unique, festive, and fun. It implements Dahl's infamous characters from other stories in order to give a variety of ideas on how to celebrate the holiday season.

Доста забавна и пълна с емоции и приключения книга. С нея ще отброявате дните до Коледа по един креативен начин. Мисля, че момичета и момчета на възраст между 6-12 години биха я оценили подобаващо.

Sprinkled with generous helpings of goofy jokes, spiced with Dahl’s own special gobblefunk language and slathered with layers of Quentin Blake’s trademark Dahl character illustrations and you have the quintessential stocking filler that guarantees hours of hooting and maximum satisfaction, good enough to eat. This little number encourages creativity and independent thinking that can be performed singularly or shared with siblings, parents and friends; it’s Christmas perfect.
