Happy 100th Birthday to ROALD DAHL!

September 13

Today marks what would have been the 100th birthday of one of children’s literature’s great fantasy authors.

 

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

(Matilda)

Dahl’s spunky, outrageous, endearing characters have become a part of childhood for so many children. I remember reading THE BFG to my two sons when they were young elementary students. We would all be laughing and eagerly turning the pages to find out what was going to happen to Sophie and the Big, Friendly Giant.
