Roald Dahl: Wales of the Unexpected

Description

Roald Dahl: Wales of the Unexpected explores the complex ways in which Roald Dahl engages with Wales – the country of his birth and early life – throughout his work. The contributors reveal how both Dahl’s books for children and his fiction for adults can illuminatingly be read in terms of their author’s Anglo-Welsh identity. A new picture of Dahl emerges: relocated through a Welsh lens, ‘the world’s number one storyteller’ appears in a convincing new light.
