Every year, Sept 13 is Roald Dahl Day! Sept 13 is (was) his birthday, so makes for a fitting day to celebrate. In the UK, they plan all sorts of things! Some areas even have a whole Roald Dahl Month of activities! Fun!
My favorite Roald Dahl book was by far Matilda. Probably a combination of the independent, intelligent female protagonist who loved books, combined with an inner desire to have telekinetic abilities (ranks up there with my desire to have my own dragon... some things I still haven't outgrown!). Probably why the Roald Dahl books have lasted so long - who ever outgrows the desire to see outrageously appropriate bad things happen to bad people, and good things happen to good ones?
