CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

When Roald Dahl was boy, he liked to play jokes like throwing water bombs at people. At eight, Dahl was punishted for putting a dead rat in a jar of sweets! This juvenille sense of humor influenced his stories. When Dahl was at school, Cadbury's chocolate company sent chocolate bar that would impress Mr Cadbury. This gave him the idea for his book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

MATILDA


Roald Dahl did not like adults! He said: "Parents and schoolteachers are the enemy!" When he started writing children's books in the 1950s, his stories presented the chid as the hero and the adults as the enemy. You probably remember horrible Miss Trunchbull in the book Matilda. She throws children out of the window!
