About The Author
Roald Dahl ( 13 September 1916 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide. Born in Wales to Norwegian parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Forceduring the Second World War, in which he became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both children and adults and he became one of the world best-selling authors. He has been referred to as “one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century”. His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards and Children’s Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of “The 50 greatest British writers since 1945”. Dahl short stories are known for their unexpected endings and his childrens books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kind-hearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl’s works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected.

A continuation of Charlie and the chocolate factory this book is one of Roald dahl’s most over glorified books. The other books surpass it by a huge margin. This may be a upset for Roald dahl lovers but here willy wonks is slightly disappointing. Somewhere sometimes it is exeptionally brilliant but some where it fall amicably flat.
