About the book

Some of Boy's adventures may be familiar in their fictionalised form, but other incidents of Roald Dahl's childhood defy invention. Mixed with the hilarious are the sadder personal stories of this large and loving Norwegian family transplanted to Britain.

Als ich begonnen habe, wusste ich nicht, dass Roald Dahl hier über seine eigene Kindheit schreibt. Er macht es aber wirklich gut und ich war sofort gecatcht. Sehr zu empfehlen und seine Story wird dann in Going Solo fortgesetzt. Darauf freue ich mich.

A favorite, for sure. Dahl recounts stories that both horrify and delight all ages, from getting his tonsils removed without anesthesia to planting a mouse in a candy jar (fans of "You've Got Mail" will especially remember this story). An enlightening look behind the scenes of the man whose genius and imagination continue to delight decades later.
