Roald Dahl

Ann Alston (University of the West of England, Bristol),Dr Catherine Butler (Reader in English Literature, Department of English, Communication & P, Cardiff)

Roald Dahl is one of the world’s best-loved authors. More than twenty years after his death, his books are still highly popular with children and have inspired numerous feature films - yet he remains a controversial figure.

This volume, the first collection of academic essays ever to be devoted to Dahl’s work, brings together a team of well-known scholars of children’s literature to explore the man, his books for children, and his complex attitudes towards various key subjects. Including essays on education, crime, Dahl’s humour, his long-term collaboration with the artist Quentin Blake, and film adaptations, this fascinating collection offers a unique insight into the writer and his world.
