Boy - Tales of Childhood ~ Roald Dahl

Medium soft cover
Excellent condition

Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl is a vivid and mischievous memoir that recounts the authors early life in England and Norway during the 1920s and 1930s. Rather than a traditional autobiography, Dahl offers a series of unforgettable anecdotesfrom placing a dead mouse in a candy jar to enduring brutal punishments at boarding schoolthat shaped his imagination and storytelling. He reflects on his Norwegian heritage, the loss of his father, and the eccentricities of school life, including a memorable stint as a chocolate tester for Cadbury, which later inspired Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The book balances humor and hardship, revealing the roots of Dahls creative genius and the injustices that fueled his rebellious spirit. Through short, punchy chapters and a childs-eye view of authority, cruelty, and camaraderie, Dahl crafts a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
