‘I know exactly what words I am wanting to say, but somehow or other they is always getting squiffsquiddled around’. So says Roald Dahl’s Big Friendly Giant.

Children of all ages have read and enjoyed books by Roald Dahl. Many of his stories, such as Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and James And The Giant Peach, have become classics in their own time. Of children, he said, ‘They love being spooked… They love chocolates and toys and money… They love being made to giggle’.

The inventions of Roald Dahl are indeed treasures both for our children and for generations to come.
