Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl
5.0
I only read a few chapters years ago, and past-Ashley was terribly impatient, and only read books that had magic, talking animals, and witches in it, which were basically all of his children's novels, which still entrances me today. But, I was lucky enough to be invited by a close friend to a secret book sale, and I spotted this book and the sequel, Going Solo, and decided to add it to my Roald Dahl collection.
Boy, am I glad I did. After all these years, I could still remember the story with the dead mouse in the Gobstopper jar, which really says a lot about Roald Dahl's brilliant writing and stories, because I have the memory of a goldfish.
These stories have shown me the beautiful mind behind my favourite childhood stories, and I wish that he were still alive today, so I could thank him for inspiring me to be a writer.
