It is great to know that he still lives up to expectations. I'm looking forward to reading his books to my sons in a few years time - especially my favourite The BFG!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731368674126403329.post-51485279520675737182010-11-09T11:42:44.102+00:002010-11-09T11:42:44.102+00:00Irena- He does indeed rock!

I grew up with Dahl's stories and I think that every female book worm has a bit of Matilda in herself.:) I like The Witches best, but Charlie is my favourite character, followed closely by Matilda. You're right, he did wonders with the language and I enjoy his dark humour. I also LOVE his poems. His retellings of fairy-tales are wonderful.Irena @ This Miss Loves to Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127816068294702715noreply@blogger.com
