I really enjoy Roald Dahl books because they are always entertaining for me, even as an adult. I recently read this one, which is just stories of Roald Dah's childhood. I learned a lot about what life was like for a boy in Norway and England in the first half of the 20th century. He writes stories about how strict his boarding school teachers were, the pranks he used to pull as a boy, and what his family life was like. The book also tells how he got the idea to write Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
