How did he became a writer?
Roald Dahl was shot down in a plane in WW II and when he went to America as a writer asked him to give him facts
about what it was like so that he could write a newspaper article about it. Roald Dahl did, and the writer mailed back
and said that he had only asked for the facts, but Roald Dahl had written a really good story about it. It was so
good, the writer published the story exactly as Roald Dahl had written it. He got a bit well known then, and he started
writing books.

cerebral hemorrhages. Then he had to undergo two spinal operations for crippling back pains. In fact, throughout his life,Dahl had eight major operations and a few countless smaller ones. Through it all, he always kept a wonderful
perspective on his life which shines through in his writing.

Roald Dahl was born september 13 1916, five years after his Norwegian parents, who married in 1911, moved to
Cardiff from Norway. His father's name was Harold and his mother's name was Sophia. He also had a sister, Astri, but
she died of appendicitis when she was 7 and Roald was only 4. He also lost his father that same year. Later Roald was
sent to boarding school which he hated because they were very strict and used to cane the children for breaking harsh
rules.The one thing he really enjoyed was to go to Ms Pratchett's sweet shop near his school because he used to buy tasty chocolate bars. He used to enjoy the chocolate
bars so much that he later wrote charlie and the chocolate factory based on this memory of the shop.
