The BFG is the Big Friendly Giant and he brings sweet dreams to children while they are sleeping. However, there are some wonderfully strange things inside the factory! The BFG

Charlie buys Wonka chocolate bars hoping to find a golden ticket inside because whoever finds a golden ticket is invited to visit the Wonka chocolate factory and meet its eccentric owner, Willy Wonka. Have you heard of any of these stories? Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryĬharlie is a young boy from a poor family and, like most children, he loves chocolate. There, he started writing speeches and war stories, and his first pieces of writing were published. Although he flew again after that, he soon became too ill to continue and was sent home and given a new job in the British Embassy in Washington DC. When the Second World War broke out, he became a fighter pilot and he almost died when he crashed his plane in the desert. Roald’s dream was to go to exciting foreign places, and he got the chance when he got a job with the Shell Company supplying oil in East Africa. In fact, Roald hated violence and cruel behaviour, and in many of his stories the main characters are treated cruelly by their family, carers or teachers. Once, to play a trick on the owner of a sweet shop, he put a dead mouse in one of the jars of sweets! As punishment for that, he was caned (hit with a stick) at school. He went to several different boarding schools, living away from his parents for most of the year. His parents were both from Norway but they moved to the UK before he was born. Roald was born in Llandaff in Wales on 13 September 1916. This, according to Roald himself, is because he found it very easy to remember what it was like to be a child. Roald Dahl had a way of telling stories that makes them fun and easy to read. He’s sold well over 200 million books and you might also know stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG and Matilda from the film versions. Roald Dahl is one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever known.
