Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl was a very talented writer who wrote many famous books for children.
He was born in Wales in 1916. When he was three years old, his family moved to England. Roald had a happy childhood and loved to play with his friends. He grew up and went to school in England.
At the age of 18, Roald went to work for an oil company in Africa. During World War II, he was a fighter pilot. After the war, he started to write stories for children.
Roald Dahl's first book was published in 1943. It was called The Gremlins. He became famous for writing books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Big Friendly Giant and Fantastic Mr Fox. These books were translated into multiple languages and turned into films and plays. His books are known for their funny characters and exciting adventures.
What's surprising is that Dahl never learned to type, so he wrote all of his books by hand using a pencil and paper!
