ROALD DAHL
At the bottom of a garden in an unassuming shed, with the cur- tains drawn and paper, pencils, coffee, and cigarettes to hand, Roald Dahl would settle down and pen his greatest works. These stories he wrote “not only to recre- ate his own early childhood but to improve on it” (Treglown). By the time of his death at age seventy-four, Dahl had written forty-nine books, had contributed ideas to just under twenty films, and had eighteen awards to his name. Twenty-one of the books he wrote were for children, and all remain firm favourites on the bookshelves of the young and old alike. This catalogue introduces our latest acquisitions of Dahl first editions, including his children’s stories, autobiographies, illustrat- ed poetry, and books signed and inscribed by him.
