About the Author:
Roald Dahl, was born on the 13th of September, 1916. He has managed to create a distinct and separate fantasy world for children while also having written significant and relevant short stories and novels for adults. “In his stories, Dahl brings to public notice the poor section of society, the difficulties faced by them, and how they find their happily ever after. All of this, he has done while maintaining the much needed connect with children of all time periods. On giving an account from a child’s perspective, he depicts the frame of thought of the adult in the story as well as the child. My favorite work would be the short story The Umbrella Man.”, said another Roald Dahl fan.
