In "The BFG," a young girl named Sophie befriends the Big Friendly Giant, a kind-hearted giant who collects dreams instead of children. Unlike other giants, who are frightening and eat humans, the BFG is gentle and communicates through delightful, whimsical language. Together, they embark on an adventure to save the world from the other giants who threaten to eat children. With Sophie’s cleverness and the BFG's special abilities, they concoct a plan that involves the Queen of England, leading to fantastical moments filled with imagination and courage. This enchanting tale celebrates friendship, bravery, and the power of dreams. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

Roald Dahl was born in Wales of Norwegian parents the child of a second marriage. His father and elder sister died when Roald was just three. His mother was left to raise two stepchildren and her own four children. Roald was her only son. He had an unhappy time at school and this influenced his writing greatly. He once said that what distinguished him from most other childrens writers was this business of remembering what it was like to be young. Many of his books have been turned into films - Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, The Witches, James and The Giant Peach, Esia Trot, Fantastic Mr Fox. Roalds childhood and schooldays are the subject of his autobiography Boy. https://www. roalddahl. com/ David Walliams has become one of the most influential children's writers today.
