About Author :

Roald Dahl was born in Wales of Norwegian parents - the child of a second marriage. His father and elder sister died when Roald was just three. His mother was left to raise two stepchildren and her own four children. Roald was her only son. He had an unhappy time at school - at Llandaff Cathedral School, at St Peter`s prep school in Weston-super-Mare and then at Repton in Derbyshire. He excelled at sports, particularly heavyweight boxing, but was deemed by his English master to be `quite incapable of marshalling his thoughts on paper`. There was one advantage to going to Repton, however - the school was close to Cadbury`s and the company regularly involved the schoolboys in testing new varieties of chocolate bars. Dahl`s unhappy time at school was to influence his writing greatly. He once said that what distinguished him from most other children`s writers was `this business of remembering what it was like to be young`. Roald`s childhood and schooldays are the subject of his autobiography Boy.
