    I've read so many books in my life and my native language is Russian, people who know Russian literature could understand me. I was born in 1983 , since I've studied how to read I sarted my long trip in searching the best writer for me! And now, at the age of 38 I found him! It's Roald Dahl!

    Thank you to the person who was put this interview on youtube. He is the man who made me fall in love with reading. Such a terrible loss for literature. It is a wonderful thought so many generations will keep on enjoying his stories for ever.

    He is by far my favorite children's book author. I read all his stories when I was a kid and I was particularly enamored with The Witches. The book was scary to me as a kid and the film by Nicolas Roeg, is one of my all-time favorite films. I absolutely adore the Witches.

    Interesting life starting with his RAF career. I thought that was courageous. Great author but he did and said some things that make me wonder about his character I'm discovering.

    He rarely rewrote a book six times. He resented it each time his editors politely suggested that Matilda and the BFG (his best) needed more work, but they were right.

    How did Dahl develop the upper class accent? I thought he was of working class stock. Is that just how all children were instructed to speak in boarding schools?

    • @colmkelly5547
      @colmkelly5547 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Read Boy and Going Solo by him. Or there is a wonderful audio book done in a BBC play you could look for and listen. His father was quite successful and they were not working class. Changes nothing wonderful man and a very interesting life.

      He was born in and grew up in Wales until he was nine and presumably had a Welsh accent at the time (although his family spoke Norwegian around the house in his early years). I think that he developed the upper class accent because that was the only English accent he had any exposure to from the time he went to boarding school.

    He was having an affair while his wife was very ill. When his daughter found out she was fourteen Dahl gave her an ultimatum, ‘You can tell your mother and tear the family apart or you can keep the secret’ - Quite an evil act

      He also saved his son collaborating with neurosurgeons and probably funding to invent a device to drain fluid from his son’s brain . A shunt-that is still saving people.
