I love Roald Dahl books. I bought my son the full collection of them and I still pinch one to read every now and then. My favorite is probably Charlie and the Chocolate factory but I love 'Boy' his autobiography about when he was growing up!

I have a box full of them in the loft at my dads and he is under strict instructions not to bin them as I will be reading them to Arianna.

I loved his books, I remember getting them at primary school to read

My mum used to be a home help for a retired Psychologist who years ago helped Roald Dahl give up smoking.
Sadly my mums friend passed away last November in his early 90's.

Do that! Boy is great - got the inspiration for Charlie & the chocolate factory was inspired by the parcels of choc they got at school to taste the new choc bars. Going Solo (the 2nd part from when he left school) isn't so interesting though.
