Book Description
Into his description of an enchanted boyhood spent in Wales and Norway, counterpointed with his cruel, often barbaric experience at an English public school, Roald Dahl weaves a sparkling thread of reminiscence filled with wit, high spirits, and more than a touch of the macabre. Funny, irreverent and sometimes sad, this is the story of the early life of one of our most successful writers.
