Author Biography:

Roald Dahl, one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time, crafted stories that captivate young minds and inspire generations of readers. Born in Wales in 1916, Dahl’s adventurous life included time as an RAF fighter pilot and an intelligence officer during World War II. Known for his wit, imagination, and ability to connect with children, Dahl’s career as an author truly blossomed with the publication of James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. These stories quickly established him as a master of children’s literature.

Dahl’s works often blend humor, fantastical worlds, and memorable characters that navigate moral challenges, which resonate deeply with young readers. His unique storytelling style celebrates the unexpected and encourages curiosity, resilience, and kindness – all seen through the lens of his unforgettable characters, from the wise Matilda and gentle BFG to the courageous Charlie Bucket.

In addition to writing for children, Dahl was also an acclaimed writer of adult fiction and an advocate for children’s education and medical support, particularly in neurology, after his personal experiences with illness in his family. His influence on children’s literature endures, and his books have been translated into 59 languages, read by millions across the globe. To this day, Roald Dahl’s stories continue to spark wonder, laughter, and inspiration in children and adults alike.
