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/

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie Bucket lives with his mum and dad and four grandparents. They are pretty poor. What Charlie likes most is chocolate, but he only gets one bar a year - on his birthday. Just before his birthday Mr Mr Willy Wonka - the most extraordinary chocolate maker in the world - runs a competition - five golden tickets inside his chocolate bars and whoever finds them can come and look around his fantastic chocolate factory. Against the odds little Charlie Bucket gets to go. Inside the factory he sees that the other children are nasty little beasts - Augustus Gloop - a great big greedy nincompoop; Veruca Salt - a spoiled brat; Violet Beauregarde - a repulsive little gum-chewer; Mike Teavee - a boy who only watches television - and Mr Wonka sees it too. And the prize for the real winner is quite extraordinary...
