'They did not think for one moment that they would find anything but a burnt-out fuselage and a charred skeleton, and they were astounded when they came upon my still-breathing body lying in the sand nearby.'
Sitting in a hut at the bottom of his garden, surrounded by odd bits and pieces such as a suitcase (used as a footrest), his own hipbone (which he'd had replaced) and a heavy ball of metal foil (made from years' worth of chocolate wrappers), Roald Dahl wrote some of the world's best-loved stories including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, The Witches, The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox, James and the Giant Peach and lots more.
His account of life as a fighter pilot in the Western Desert and in
Greece has the thrilling intensity and the occasional grotesqueness
of his fiction
*Sunday Times*
Very nearly as grotesque as his fiction. The same compulsive blend
of wide-eyed innocence and fascination with danger and horror
*Evening Standard*
A non-stop demonstration of expert raconteurship
*The New York Times Book Review*
