Dahl is one of my many favourite writers and right now (dare I say it?) I’m for at least the 2nd time reading his slim volume BOY, Tales of a Childhood which sits peacefully in a narrow bookshelf in our bathroom. This says nothing at all about the quality of the books but consists strictly of ‘small, slim, easy reading’ – and it stands there because we simply haven’t got the space for ALL my remaining books. I have all his books and love his writing, both for children and adults. And I like his sometimes quite vicious mind, it’s so very human and he has nothing to hide! HAD nothing to hide….
One-derful! ♡´・ᴗ・`♡
