Boy Tales of Childhood

Boy Tales of Childhood is a super funny biography of the life of Roald Dahl growing up. It talks mostly about the adventures that he has and what he does. Things like almost getting his nose cut off in an accident, having the headmistress at his school shove soap down a boys throat for snoring, having gotten his adenoids out without any medicine, and many more hilarious stories. But there are also more serious stories like him traveling to places and him moving and transferring schools. I like this book mostly because it is just extremely funny. Also because Roald Dahl gets all (well most) of his ideas from experiences that happened in his life. This is so cool to me because that means that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was based off the idea of him being a candy tester/taster for Cadbury's. Which did actually happen when he was younger. All these things that happened to him, amazing stories, are all written in this wonderful book. - Zoe
