More About Boy: Roald Dahl's Tales from Childhood(2009)

Quentin BlakeRoald Dahl

Twenty-five years ago in Boy (1984), the world's favorite storyteller recollected scenes from his youth for the world to enjoy...

As a child, beloved author Roald Dahl was known to his family as Boy, and when he wrote letters home after he first went away to school, he even signed himself that way. Here, in a lavishly illustrated twenty-fifth anniversary edition, is Boy's story—a story that is both strange, funny and frightening, and altogether true.

More About Boy is the expanded story of Roald Dahl's childhood, with his original text augmented by never-before-seen material from behind the scenes, and some of the secrets that were left out. Dahl's adventures and misadventures during his school years are crowded with people as strange and wonderful as any character he created and are as exciting and full of the unexpected as his celebrated fiction.
