Boy: Tales of Childhood

Unforgettable, Hilarious, and True Tales from the World’s Number One Storyteller!

Before he gave us Charlie, Matilda, and the BFG, Roald Dahl lived a childhood that was just as extraordinary, absurd, and funny as any of his fictional stories. In Boy: Tales of Childhood, the master storyteller recounts his own growing-up years in Wales and England during the 1920s and 1930s.

From nostalgic memories of the local sweetshop filled with Gobstoppers and Pear Drops to the notorious "Great Mouse Plot" - where young Roald and his friends pulled off a legendary prank on a grumpy shopkeeper - this memoir is packed with laughter, mischief, and heart. Dahl also shares candid, vivid recollections of Norwegian summer holidays, mischievous boarding school adventures, and eccentric teachers who shaped his imagination.

Written with Dahl's signature wit, warmth, and dark humor, Boy is an absolute classic that delights young readers, nostalgia seekers, and literature lovers alike.
