ROALD DAHL

Mr. Dahl is an amazing author. He was born in Llandaff, Wales, of Norwegian parents. His books are interesting because they have unexpected endings, strange, menacing atmospheres. His famous works are: - Charlie and the chocolate factory. - Tales of the unexpected - Dirty Beasts Charlie and the chocolate factory is one of Dahl’s most famous books. The story dealt with one small boy's search for the ultimate prize in fierce competition with other, highly unpleasant children, many of whom come to sticky ends as a result of their greediness. It presented the central theme in Dahl's fiction for young readers: virtue is rewarded, vice is punished. In the end the fabulous chocolate factory is given to Charlie, the kind, impoverished boy. In 1983 he received World Fantasy Convention Lifetime Achievement award. Dahl died of an infection on November 23, 1990. Posted Nov 27, 2007 7:41 pm

I read a book called Charlie and the Choclate Factory. I enjoyed it alot and I also saw the movie. There was this boy called Charlie. He loved a sweet so when he saw the news they talked about that sweet that he loved. They said that there will be a competition and whoever gets the five golden papers goes to the chocolate factory. 4 people got the golden paper but Charlie didn't get one. Finally he got one. He said it was an exiting place.

Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors. I have read most of his book and thought they were all great, but Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator was a bit wierd. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is my favourite Roald Dahl story because I just love CHOCOLATE!!I have also enjoyed his poetry books and the films that have been made out of his books.
