Roald Dahl, born in Wales to Norwegian parents, was a fighter pilot before he became one of the world’s best-loved storytellers. His books — illustrated by Quentin Blake — are wickedly funny, with revolting grown-ups, brave children and gloriously invented words. September 13, his birthday, is celebrated as Roald Dahl Story Day.
