Boy - Tales of Childhood
« on: January 09, 2016, 17:33:25 »
Have any one read this book? I've just started reading it as a project in school. :)

A born storyteller is always born with an interesting story. A phenomenally successful author all over the globe, Roald Dahl is a man whose stories were crafted with pure genius and that special touch of zaniness that very few are blessed to have.

Boy is the first part of an autobiographical series written by Roald Dahl himself and it tells the tale of the beginnings of one of the greatest children's writers the world has seen.

Boy narrates the story of Dahl's childhood. Starting from the unfortunate incident of how his Norwegian Papa, Harold Dahl lost his arm and moving on to a hilarious account of how much he hated his first boarding school Llandalf Cathedral.

I barely read books but I was planning on listening to The Walking Dead books while playing Runescape. I read some summary and they seem very interesting!  \:D/

I'm sad I've never heard of him ...:(
"Nowadays you can go anywhere in the world in a few hours, and nothing is fabulous any more."
Found on his wiki, like, what an accurate quote.  Although I believe the beautiful world we live in, is 100% perception of it, and although correct in the sense so many people will never see the beauty in wonders around the world, not everyone lacks the perception it takes to view such beauty!

I love Roald Dahl books, I've probably read nearly all of them. They were my favourite books to read as a kid :)

Boy was one of my favourites too, haha :p
