Read Roald dahl for the first time and absolutely loved it.
It was published way back in the 1980s and I must say it has aged quite well.

If you are a book lover, you are surely going to love the main lead Matilda.

Loved the writing style and the plot was engaging the whole way through. The illustrations by quentinblake was very cute.

I recommend reading children’s book every now and then , it certainly helps keeping your inner child alive.
