D is for Dahl is a gloriumptious A to Z guide to the world of Roald Dahl. It is not a biography but is an A to Z of amazing facts – some of them are silly, some are funny but definitely all are true.
It is a book that brings to life the world’s favourite Children’s writer and is a real treasure trove into his world. We discover more about Roald’s favourite things, about his family and about his wonderful things.
Here are some of the facts:
The Apple – This was Roald Dahl’s nickname at home. He was the only boy of five children and the apple of his mother’s eye – that is to say her favourite.
Blue Spit – Witches’ spit is blue. Look out for the faint blue tinge on their teeth and gums – then run.
If – If Roald Dahl hadn’t been an author, he could have been a doctor, a boxer, a golfer, an inventor, a scientist, a botanist or a picture frame. He had a natural talent for all those things.
Random Roald Fact
