Roald Dahl

Hi bloggers

Welcome back to my blog if you know it is Book week so on book week we wanted to learn about Roald Dahl because our class novel is by Roald dahl so we were told to write a piece of writing about Roald Dahl.

Here is my writing

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was born on the 13th of September 1916 in Llandaff Wales. Sadly in 1920 his oldest sister died because of pneumonia and shortly later his father died as well. Roald Dahl said his mother was an amazing story teller, she was not like an ordinary storyteller she told stories about  mythical characters and creatures. Even though he was born in Wales his Mum and Dad were Norwegin.

Even though he had a happy life at home he often got canned for bad behaviour at school. When him and his friends were in high school they were often told to come to the local chocolate factory to test new chocolates this event inspired the book Charlie and the chocolate factory. 

Most of the books Roald Dahl wrote were inspired by real people that he met. An example is the girl in the BFG, she is named after Roald Dahl's granddaughter Sophie.

Roald Dahl enlisted for the royal air force at the age of 23 in the Second World War. His friends in the World war called him Lofty because of his height and was over 6ft tall so he had to squeeze himself in the cockpit. He was a fighter pilot and all so a spy he passed intelligence to M16 from Washington.
