bookriot: Roald Dahl would have been 96 today. Happy birthday to an author who taught us to believe in magic. And giants that eat children. And gigantic fruit that kills evil relatives. And little boys who prefer living as mice. And vermicious KNIDs. And genius little girls who can kill you with their brains. And poaching quails by giving them raisins with little bits of wire strung through them. And disgusting farmers who’ll do anything to get that damned fox.

Roald Dahl would have been 96 today. Happy birthday to an author who taught us to believe in magic.

And giants that eat children. And gigantic fruit that kills evil relatives. And little boys who prefer living as mice. And vermicious KNIDs. And genius little girls who can kill you with their brains. And poaching quails by giving them raisins with little bits of wire strung through them. And disgusting farmers who’ll do anything to get that damned fox.
