`R o a l d D a h l B i o g r a p h y`

Publisher: Oxford University Press, London, October 1997

Dramatic full colour illustrations on every page from the award winning and very popular ALAN MARKS.

This Roald Dahl biography for children (and fans of Dahl of any age) tells the story of this remarkable man who was not only a famous author, but a boxing champion, a fighter pilot and inventor who saved thousands of lives. Bet you didn't know that!

Roald Dahl What's Their Story? is part of the Oxford Reading Tree, Key Stage 2.

It's also been chosen by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate to form part of the British National Curriculum for children. Initially, it will be used by the Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales.

Since the book was published in 1997, I've discovered that although originally written for children, my book is being enjoyed by teenagers and adults too. It's especially popular with students and teachers working on projects about Dahl.

A big hello to everyone who has e-mailed me from the United States of America. Good news - Oxford University Press is publishing in the States this Fall.
