Roald Dahl was born in Llandaf, Wales on September 13th, 1916. His parents were Norwegian. In the book 'WITCHES', he based his mother as the grandmother because he got the most tremendous feeling of security from his mom.When Roald Dahl was young, he really loved stories. His mom told him stories with his sisters and brothers. When Roald Dahl became a little older, he became liking adventure stories. He loved authors like Dickens and Ambrose Bierce.
He first started writing adult books for the first 15 years of writing. Then he moved to writing children books, which made him become well-known and famous.
His first book was 'JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH' and after that book, he wrote a book called 'CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACOTORY'. These books became very famous and were also made into a movie.
He worked and wrote books in England in a house called 'Gipsy house'. It was a hut at the bottom of the garden. In the Gipsy house, he wrote most of his unforgettable stories of young and old. Roald Dahl couldn't type and he always used a pencil to write. For most of the time, he started writing at 9: 30 in the morning and at 10:30 am, he took a cup of coffee and rested a bit. Then he wrote again until noon. After the afternoon read, he returned at his hut and continued writing stories. He wrote a lot of drafts at the first because he usually couldn't write something right at the first time.

Since I love Roald Dahl's writing, I have read a lot of his books. Those include 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Mathilda', 'Fantastic Mr. Fox', 'George's Marvellous Medicine', 'The Twits', 'The Witches', 'Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator', and 'The BFG'.

Good work on this Roald Dahl page Si Won. All on paper because he couldn't type? Arghhh...... I was interested when you said he wrote adult books and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was his first. So this would be considered an adult book? I'm wondering how so? Keep up the good work, Si Won.
I really enjoy your writing. I also know a lot of things about Roald Dahl but I didn't know some interesting facts you wrote. Roald Dahl is my favorite writer as well so I enjoy your writing.
Mr. Hughes, I have misunderstood about the order of his writing (Adult books and Children books) so I have corrected some information. I added the sources and the list of Roald Dahl's books.
