This is a fascinating book of memoirs; short stories from Roald Dahl's childhood.
It offers a small glimpse of life in the early 1920s and 1930s as well as provides a little insight into what inspired this wonderful author to write the stories he did.
It's a quick read and an interesting look into his life.
October 2017 update: listened to Dan Stevens narrate the audiobook with ISBN13 9781101928691 and I really enjoyed hearing the stories again. ...more
