Today we are celebrating Roald Dahl Day. Look out for pictures of the girls fantastic costumes. Roald Dahl Day is marked on 13 September to remember the author who wrote more than 20 children’s books, including The Twits, Fantastic Mr Fox and The Witches.
Many of them have been turned into films and even musicals, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda. He died on 23 November 1990. Every year, since 13 September 2006 – on what would have been his birthday – there’s been a special Roald Dahl Day to celebrate his stories and their characters. This year would have been his 107th birthday. So we thought we would share some fantastic facts about his life.
