Roald Dahl: Boy

"An autobiography is a book a person writes about his own life. It is usually full of all sorts of boring details. This is not an autobiography."
The story of Roald Dahl's childhood is filled with excitement and wonder but also terror and great sadness. We learn of his experiences at cruel boarding schools, his daring Great Mouse Plot, the dangers of Boazers, the pleasure/pain of the local sweetshop and his time as a chocolate taster. Just some of the marvellous, extraordinary events that no doubt went on to inspire his best-selling books.
Patrick Malahide provides the voice of Dahl in a colourful adaptation by Lucy Catherine.

Roald Dahl was a very good author. I loved his books when I was young - and still do now.

[@Skiddla]

i remember reading this in 4th grade, its pretty cool to see that its still being read by young people

[@pauliosantos6379]

And there hating to have to read :( , the horror of that throws me back, think how you read this originally, and now it is done so with such negativity for it's physical presence , sad

[@morganmtb1383]

this book is so old but still popular unfortunetly Roald Dahl will be looking down and seeing us listening to his book on a computer

[@angelacorrea6236]

As a teacher I can't cease to be disgusted by how teacher were in the past

Brilliant story of the very brutal English public schooling system, so grateful my experience of school in Australia was nothing like this. However, his amazing Mother helped to make up for it. What a superb woman. It's so interesting to learn about Dahl's early life. His stories are wonderful and enrich the lives of children and adults the world over. Thank you so much for the upload. ;-)

Captain Hardcastle sounds like a teacher we had in the 90s

Thanks for uploading Boy: Tales of Childhood (1984) by Roald Dahl. Monty Skew = Monty's Que = Mon Teased Queue = Mont East Cue MONTESQUIEU > Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu generally referred to as simply Montesquieu. He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, which is implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. He is also known for doing more than any other author to secure the place of the word "despotism" in the political lexicon.

Epic Englishman.

[@Demonmixer]

He was Norwegian.

[@DaveSCameron]

@@Demonmixer Belarusian surely?

[@Demonmixer]

@@DaveSCameron He was born in Wales to Norwegian parents. Because his first language was Norwegian and he and his parents spent a lot of time in Norway, I assumed his parents would have had Norwegian as his nationality on his birth cert. Otherwise, he would have been Welsh. I would have thought that his parents having such strong connections to Norway would have had made sure he was given Welsh/Norwegian dual nationality. I can confirm he wasn't Belarusian unless this was some alias when he was employed by MI6 that you're thinking of, but I'd say that's doubtful especially seeing as how Belarus was formed two years after he was born. Couldn't find anything about whether he had dual nationality and he's classified by every source I found as being British and since he was born in Wales, that would make him Welsh, but of Norwegian descent. His birth cert probably says British.

[@DaveSCameron]

@@Demonmixer Hey and thanks, a special chap to England whatever his extraordinary history. My sister led a class room task to reproduce as close as possible his writing she'd asking all her class to seek out and bring in an item from his rather spartan space, I'm told that the only item that eluded them all was a Toby jug which was his pen and pencil receptacle.

C-3dge TV back in the old days if you said something rude it was classed as 'dirty'. So your mouth would be washed out quite literally with soapy water! Adults, especially teachers were so much more stricter back then!
