![]() ![]() Read all about my BBC Big Read Challenge Plot Matilda is one of Dahl's most beloved books and has been adapted into a 1996 film starring Danny De Vito as well as two popular musicals, the second with lyrics by Tim Minchin. What I am trying to convey is that the books of Roald Dahl were pretty interwoven throughout my childhood, as well as the childhood's of many people. My favourite line to this day was from the retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, 'Drawing a gun from her knickers.' ![]() These were done in Dahl's inimitable style. But I can also remember our school play based on Roald Dahl's retelling of fairy tales. ![]() I used to read at night way past bedtime, hiding the book under my pillow if I heard my mum's step on the stair and hiding it under my pillow if she came in. I can still picture my battered copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which was always my most favourite Roald Dahl book. It has been years since I read any Roald Dahl, but as a child I could not get enough of these wonderful books. Coming in at #74 on the BBC Big Read list is Matilda by Roald Dahl. ![]()
