the gloriumptious world of roald dahl

"I am not, of course, telling you for one second that your teacher actually IS a witch. All I am saying is that she might be one. It is most unlikely. But - here comes the big BUT - NOT impossible.”

"those who don't believe in Magic, will never find it"*

Since the 1960s, Roald Dahl has kept children of all ages entertained. Being a masterful storyteller, he managed to create books filled with fantasy, humour and colourful language. The characters in the stories are most often children, who somehow end up in totally absurd, but exciting adventures. Several of his characters have been inspired by people Dahl met while growing up, especially during his school days. Many of his children's books have been adapted for the scene or the cinema. Funny, since Dahl himself did not like going to either the cinema or the theatre, because his legs were so long that he found the seats uncomfortable. Today his books have been translated into astonishing 58 languages. Find out who is the Norwegian publisher of Roald Dahl's books here.

But who was really Roald Dahl?
 
Roald was born in 1916 in Llandaff, a small community in the north of Cardiff, capital of Wales. Both his parents were Norwegian immigrants. His father, Harald, had immigrated to Wales first, and when his first wife died, leaving two children behind, he went back to Norway. There he married Sofie Hesselberg, with whom he settled down in Llandaff. Together they got five children, among them Roald.  His father and his eldest sister died when Roald was just three years old. This meant that his mother had to raise the remaining six children by herself.
Being from Norway, his mother knew plenty of stories about mythical creatures and trolls which she passed on to her children. His father had been very fond of writing a diary, and Roald himself kept a secret diary since he was very young. In this way, both his parents seem to have inspired Dahl as he began writing stories years later. Initially Dahl wrote books merely for adults, but after fifteen years or so, when he got children of his own, he began writing children's books, and this is how most people remember him today.
