Boy and Going Solo: Tales of Childhood

Roald Dahl’s personal stories together in one edition

Where did Roald Dahl get all of his wonderful ideas for stories? From his own life, of course Boy includes tales of sweetshops and chocolate, mean old ladies, and the Great Mouse Plot. And then Going Solo tells of how, when he grew up, Roald Dahl left England for Africa and later went flying with the Royal Air Force.
