Boy: Tales Of Childhood

Where did Roald Dahl get all of his wonderful ideas for stories? 

From his own life, of course! As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world-famous, best-selling books, Roald Dahl's tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose in a car accident? Or that he was once a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's? Have you heard about his involvement in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you don’t yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl. Sure to captivate and delight you, the boyhood antics of this master storyteller are not to be missed!

「從很小開始上學到剛畢業這段期間，太多事情發生在我身上......有些很好玩，有些很痛苦，有些並不甜美......書上所記載的都是真的。」
作者寫下這些和兒時有關的冒險，描述他的童年經歷、當時的公立學校制度，也介紹了1920年代和1930年代英國的生活狀況。

在作者Roald Dahl還是個小男孩的時候，的確有許多奇異的際遇發生在他身上，也許就因為這樣，他才有那麼多不同凡響的靈感，才能寫出世界級的暢銷書。
有幾乎要Roald Dahl以鼻子為代價的兜風；
那個總是出其不意就出現在學校走廊的恐怖舍監；
在挪威與家人共度的歡樂夏日等等。

和他筆下充滿驚奇和意想不到的事件一樣，Roald Dahl自己的童年往事更是引人入勝，趣味洋溢！
