Roald Dahl was born in Wales 1916, to Norwegian parents. After a distinguished career as a fighter pilot and diplomat during the Second World War, he settled downto become a fulltime author; first writing popular stories for adults; then, later, retelling many of the stories he made up at bedtime for his own children .

The first book Roald Dahl and illustrator Quentin Blake worked upon together was
THE ENORMOUS CROCODILE.

The two soon became firm friends, cementing one of the most eye-catching and distinctive collaborations in children’s literature. Roald Dahl died in 1990. His work has been published in over 40 languages and today is considered a modern classic.
