Roald
Dahl has the distinction of giving children some of the best-loved characters,
like Willie Wonka, the BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox and others, but also of writing
books that grownups frequently ban and challenge! How fun! James and the Giant
Peach frequently comes in for a pasting as does The Witches. The Witches is
laugh out loud and adults mayn't like so much hilarity, or noise. Or maybe
their shoes are on too tight. At any rate, here are activities to keep you busy
till the BFG movie and Roald Dahl Day arrive!
