| Synopsis: |
Funny, irreverent, and sometimes sad, this is the story of the early life of one of our most successful writers. Into his description of an enchanted boyhood spent in Whales and Norway, counterpointed with his cruel, often barbaric, experience at an English public school, Roald Dahl weaves a sparkling thread of reminiscence filled with wit, high spirits, and more than a touch of the macabre. |
