MORE ABOUT BOYcontains a wealth of new photos, facts and writings about Roald Dahl and his childhood, together with the original text and illustrations from his much-loved memoir.

As a boy, all sorts of unusual things happened to Roald Dahl.
There was the time he and four school friends got their revenge on beastly Mrs Prachett in her sweet shop.
There are stories of holidays in fishing boats, African adventures and the days of tasting chocolate for Cadbury’s.
You’ll hear tales of horrible school bullies and the car accident when Roald’s nose was nearly sliced clean off . . Now you can discover even more about Roald Dahl’s childhood, including some secrets he left out. Some are painful, some are funny, but all of them are TRUE.

Listen to Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry – plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios!

Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.

This was non fiction. It is about Roald Dahl life. I liked that sometimes things that happened in his like you find in some is his stories even people he met him his life. I like that there is little notes and pictures at the sides of the writing. I think if you like his normal books you will like this.

Well, it is a very interesting book indeed. The only downside was that it was plain. But it was a very good book

This book was a blast. It shows the naughty things Roald Dahl did during his childhood. My favorite person was Thwaites as he was so gullible that when his father said sweets were rats, he believed it. I would recommend this book to the age that is sensible enough to not do these horrific acts.
