'An  autobiography is a book a person writes about his own life and it is  usually full of all sorts of boring details. This is not an  autobiography.\r\n\r\n I would never write a history of myself. On the other  hand, throughout my young days at school and just afterwards a number of  things happened to me that I have never forgotten . .\r\n\r\n .'Boy is  a funny, insightful and at times grotesque glimpse into the early life  of Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors. We discover his  experiences of the English public school system, the idyllic paradise of  summer holidays in Norway, the pleasures (and pains) of the sweetshop,  and how it is that he avoided being a Boazer. This is the  unadulterated childhood - sad and funny, macabre and delightful - that  inspired Britain's favourite storyteller and also speaks of an age which  vanished with the coming of the Second World War.\r\n\r\n   'A shimmering fabric of his yesterdays, the magic and the hurt' Observer'As frightening and funny as his fiction' The New York Times Book Review'Superbly written. A glimpse of a brilliant eccentric' New StatesmanRoald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda,  and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories  for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed  and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson.\r\n\r\n Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
