Synopsis

"Revolting Rhymes: The Roald Dahl Story" takes us on a journey through the whimsical and sometimes dark imagination of Roald Dahl, from his childhood in Wales to his illustrious career as a prolific author. Born to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl's early life was marked by tragedy and adventure, shaping the foundation of his storytelling prowess. We follow Dahl's formative years, including his experiences at boarding school and his service as a fighter pilot during World War II. These experiences not only influenced his writing but also forged his irreverent and mischievous outlook on life. As Dahl emerges into the literary scene, we witness the genesis of his most iconic works, exploring the inspirations behind classics like "James and the Giant Peach," "The BFG," and "Fantastic Mr. Fox." His collaborations with illustrators like Quentin Blake also come to life, showcasing the unique blend of words and imagery that defined his stories.
