Born to Norwegian parents in Wales in 1916, Roald first started his career as a spy, then worked as a fighter pilot, and even invented medical equipment. Initially, he was best known for his short stories and then in 1961 he shot to fame with James and the Giant Peach and many more brilliant children’s stories like The Twits and George’s Marvellous Medicine. Roald also wrote screenplays, including for classic movies like You Only Live Twice and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, both adapted from Ian Fleming novels. 

Thirty years after his death in 1990, Roald Dahl’s stories are still popular across generations of readers and are still extremely popular amongst children and adults alike. Some have inherited their love of Dahl’s stories from their parents. Others have come to it through other media - his work has been widely adapted into plays, movies, musicals and animation over the years. They’re so popular that in September 2021, Netflix bought the Roald Dahl Story Company, in order to keep bringing his stories to the latest generation of children. The most recent adaptation of Dahl’s work is Matilda the Musical, an adaptation of the long-running West End show, released on 25th November 2022.

Roald Dahl is also well-regarded as a writer of macabre short stories for adults. Originally published in magazines including The New Yorker and Playboy, they’re best known from collections like Kiss Kiss and Someone Like You. Many were adapted for the classic TV series Tales of the Unexpected. They’re available in eight beautifully designed themed collections.

However, even after all these years, Roald Dahl is still best known as one of the most beloved British children’s authors. His books (The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox), short books (The Enormous Crocodile) and poetry (Revolting Rhymes) are funny, mischievous, and filled with joyfully inventive language. All of these books have been illustrated by the iconic Quentin Blake, the first Children’s Laureate. His illustrations tend to capture the spiky and subversive side of Roald’s work so well; they have become inseparable from the books. 

One common theme amongst many Roald Dahl’s stories is a young child seeking revenge on evil adults and wrongdoers. Dahl has invented more than 500 memorable words and character names across his work, such as Oompa-Loompa, scrumdiddlyumptious, snozzcumbers and frobscottle. Another interesting (lesser-known) fact about Roald Dahl is that he named his fantasy language Gobblefunk. The Oxford University Press even created a unique Roald Dahl Dictionary, which featured nearly 8000 words he used in his stories.

Many of Roald Dahl’s ideas were inspired by his childhood days and later experience. For example, in his autobiographical book Boy, Dahl says his school used to taste-test Cadbury’s chocolate. This led to the invention of the famous Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory. He also wrote about his experiences in the war, including in the book Going Solo. These years also inspired Dahl’s first book, The Gremlins. Pilots used to describe the malfunctions in their planes as little folkloric creatures causing havoc. These creatures made it into his first two novels, both published in the 40s, and an aborted Disney film.
