on September 13, 2012

Today is Roald Dahl’s birthday! He would of turned 96 if he was still alive. But wow, to those just discovering Roald Dahl’s writings or those of us, who have already been aquainted with with them, we know that there are many more years left of Roald Dahl to enjoy!

Check out the website here to read all about him and find out facts which you may not have known before…

When did you discover Roald Dahl and what is your favourite book or story by him? Mine is ‘The Wonderful story of Henry Sugar, and I remember it vividly. It was all about a man who could see through cards to the pattern and won games like that. It required sitting and staring into a candle flame until the mind had switched off, and I remember trying that once! I guess, now I would call it meditating but at the age of 11, I didn’t quite know that then.
