Roald Dahl was a Norwegian-British writer who wrote books for adults and for children. Dahl was inspired when he met C.S Forester, and later he wrote his first story in 1992. Some of his most known books are; ”Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ”, “Matilda and The Smoker” (also known as Man from the South). In 1982 he wrote a book called ”The BFG “(The Big Friendly Giant). He got the inspiration from his own life, when he sometimes put a ladder up to his children bedroom when they were in bed. And sometimes he even pushed a bamboo cane through their window, as if he was the BFG himself. The BFG’s friend, called Sophie, is named after Dahl granddaughter, Sophie. Roald Dahl said that of all the characters he has created, The BFG is probably his favorite.======



Roald Dahl was born in 1916 in Llandaff, Wales. When he was four years old, his sister died of appendicitis. She was seven years old. Later that year died his father too. His mother wanted the best for him, so she sent him to Llandaff Cathedral School when he was seven years old. Later, he wrote the book called "Boy", which is based on his memories from Llandaff Cathedral School. He got the idea for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" from his adventures in a Candy Shop nearby Llandaff Cathedral School. When the boys got the task to sample and critique the chocolate bar inventions from the local chocolate factory, he got the inspiration for the book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
