I would 100% recommend that you read ‘’The BFG’’ by Roald Dahl. I think that Roald Dahl has an outstanding imagination! In every part of the book, Roald Dahl’s writing is so mesmerising, that it makes you just want to read on and On and ON! I particularly liked the fascinating descriptions of the dreams and the wonderful illustrations. This book can be enjoyed by any age. My favourite quote is in the last paragraph.....but you’ll have to read the book to find out what it is!

Nine Man-Eating Giants: Each man-eating giant is about 50-feet-tall and proportionately broad and powerful. Their only clothes are skirt-like coverings around their waists. According to the BFG, the flavours of the humans that the man-eating giants dine on depends on their country of origin: Turks taste like turkey, Greeks are too greasy (and hence apparently no giant ever visits that country), people from Panama taste like hats, the Welsh taste like fish, people from Jersey taste like cardigans, and the Danes taste like dogs.

The latest editions of Roald Dahl's children's books have been rewritten, with gender neutral terms being swapped in, and descriptions of "fat" characters being cut from the texts.

I didn't like the story because it is boring and I didn't like the characters except the BFG and the boss of the giants. While his father recovers from his injury, he and Danny realise Mr. Hazell's annual pheasant shoot is approaching - an event to which he invites wealthy, powerful and influential aristocrats from across the south of England. Danny and his father decide to humiliate Hazell by poaching all the pheasants in the forest just before the self-aggrandising hunt. To accomplish this, they sew the contents of the sleeping pills prescribed to Danny's father by the village doctor, Doc Spencer, into raisins that the pheasants will eat; Danny's father calls this new method "Sleeping Beauty". After having successfully captured 120 pheasants from Hazell's Wood, Danny and his father take a taxi driven by Charlie Kinch (a fellow poacher) to the local vicarage, where they hide the pheasants. Afterwards, they walk home.

Dahl claimed that the gremlins were exclusively a Royal Air Force icon and that he was the original author and creator, but the elf-like figures had a very convoluted origin that predated his original writings.

Everyone joyfully cheers for this idea, while Boggis, Bunce, and Bean are left waiting in vain for Mr Fox to emerge from his hole.

[6] Plot [ edit ] As in his life, just deserts are rife in Roald Dahl’s stories and food often features in retributions. In The Witches, the Grand High Witch plots to eradicate all of England's children by lacing sweets with ‘Formula 86 Delay Action Mouse Maker’ that will turn the children into mice. The boy and his Norwegian grandmother (based on Dahl's own mother) hatch a plan to hoist the witches by their own petard, by secreting the formula into their pea soup and eradicating all of England’s witches in a single slurp.

So spoke the Grasshopper as, in James and the Giant Peach, he told us about the most incredible food he'd eaten - some of which you wouldn't even believe was real!
