Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl

4.0

I can’t believe I’d never read this before. Having recently visited his home in Great Missenden, it’s a timely read!

Wow… you can see the inspiration for Matilda, and Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and the idea behind plenty of other cruel adults. Reading about the surgeries and broken noses etc had me cringing in sympathy.
