My 4 favorite books of his are The BFG, Danny the champion of the world, The Witches, and Charlie and the chocolate factory. Each one is nice and all 4 are excellent movies. The bfg, Danny the champion of the world, and James and the giant peach were made by Disney. But the witches, Charlie and the chocolate factory were made by Warner bros.
I wish he'd have lived long enough to meet JK Rowling and see the craze the Harry Potter books brought. Would have loved to hear his view on them and the phenomenon.
If only he hadn't been a disgusting smoker, we'd have got a lot more books out of him! Look how much he aged in the last 5 years of his life, all because of 60 years of heavy cigarette smoking. He'd probably have lived to 100 and been a much better writer without those disgusting things!!
He was very much injured by the war and in a lot of pain all the time, which you can read in all biographies written about him. Knowing this and still write such brilliant books is extraordinary. I’m not a fan of cigarettes, but I can understand looking for ways to relax being in pain most of the time.
I love it! It's great to see and listen to Roald Dahl! Such a genius!
I love Roald Dahl books!

I remembered that the poem about the dentist and the crocodile this person read well I read it in my program VPCI.

Says there's 4 parts. Do anyone have the 4 parts?

What's wrong with bricklayers
Roald is from a different era, a bricklayer in the UK is now a very well paid profession, but until relatively recently it was a low paid job.
He didn't say there was anything wrong with bricklayers. That was your addition out of your own mind.

Or maybe he couldn’t write without smoking 🤷🏻

Most non smokers are boring. We wouldn’t have had all his great stories if he was a square.
