I felt this was an excellent book. I enjoyed getting a perspective of the life and times during which Roald Dahl lived. I just wish it was a little longer.

Richard Dahl writes tales of his own childhood; fascinating and funny. He nearly lost his nose in a car accident, was a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's, was involved in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924, writes of his first day of school, on writing letters home, about homesickness, and other subjects. The book is one full of laughs...
