Which Roald Dahl story do you love, do you have memories from childhood of Dahl?

Ive pretty much read every single one of his books and absoluty adore him when i was feeling sad or down id pick up one of his books and absoluty devoere it i just couldnt get enough his books are so simple yet set of a virtual explosion in your mind you can smell the chocolate in the chocolate factory you could imagine an umpa lumpa standing next to you he litrally took you from this world into a very special very magical place . My fave book would be etheir danny the champion of the world witch is a classic robin hood tale of taking from the rich (stealing the phesants) and giving to the poor its also how good will always beat the evil in life. my other fave book would be georges marvoulous medicine where he makes a potion to get rid of his evil grandmother ive read it soo many times that i can tell you the ingrediant he missed out was a quart of oil. A random roald dahl fact he use to be a fighter pilot in the raf and banged his head and thats how he became a childrens author

I got my first Ronald Dahl book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when I was in the third grade and I ignored it coz I thought that it was just the same as the Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory movie. Then I just decided to read it when I was on my second year in high school. I really loved it so much. I even made a short book report on it in our book report journal then. I'm amazed on how his imagination works. I would love to exchange brains with him for a day. hahaha! :)

I grew up reading some and having some read to me... but honestly I don't think I really liked them all that much. The BFG scared me half out of my wits because I was suddenly afraid of giants coming to eat me and nightmares haunting me in the night. The Witches made me check the feet of every creepy woman I met. The Twits left me feeling sick to my stomach about the shrinks. His books just didn't make me happy.

I LOVE Roald Dahl and think he is far too good t obe monopolised by kids!!! My son has every one of his books although most of them were bought originally for his older sisters, think I'll have to pass them on to my daughter who's expecting her first child so she can bring the child up to good literature!! I loved reading them to my kids, especially the Revolting Rhymes Funnily enough my son actually played the mother form Dahl's 'Jack and the Beanstalkk' from Revolting RhymesHe didn't really have to learn the words he knew them by heart from us reading it at bed time. Unfortunately there is one part of the story where the mother is complaining about Jack's reluctance to bathe and she says 'Would he listen, would he hell' Now as this play was being performed at Junior School the teacher changed the 'hell' to 'heck' This didn't rhyme as it was supposed to rhyme with 'smell', and as my son knew it so well at every performance he said 'hell'

Forget children. When I was reading these to my daughter at bedtime I would do all the voices of the different characters. I always wanted another chapter as much as she did. I wish Roald Dahl had written his books 30 years earlier, way better than Enid Blyton books that I read as a child. I think my favourite is Matilda, the supernatural is fascinating to kids and just the thought of being able to do everything Matilda could do is awe inspiring. Matilda has the combination of sadness, of the battle between good and evil, with evil losing out in the end. I think all the Roald Dahl stories are infinitely better as books than as films with American actors to play parts in stories which are so British.

"Matilda" absolutely stole my heart when I was younger. It was one of the first books I remember reading just for the fun of reading. The story captured me, and I realized that, with books, you really were allowed access into worlds different from your own. I'll always have a special place in my heart for "Matilda" and, consequently, Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake.

I love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. An elementary school teacher of mine read it out loud to our class. It was very exciting. I could barely wait until the next "story time". Like you, I have many fond memories of Dahl from childhood.

the first roald dahl book i ever read was matilda, and i fell in love with it in second. the story is really lovely, and i really really love it

I love, LOVE, Roald Dahl books, My favorite is The BFG, I enjoy the movies as well, The Witches, James and the Giant Peach, and of course Matilda. I would love to have all of them in my book collection, for me and my children, I've read them many times and would love to share that with my kids, (when I have them)

Oh dear but then there's the BFG - I mean just HOW good is that book? And did you know that the little girl in the book, Sophie, was called after Dahl's granddaughter Sophie Dahl!! What a great claim to fame she's got

My favourite as a child was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which I read and re-read. I also enjoyed some other books like James and the Giant Peach.
