The Gloriumptious Worlds of Roald Dahl

September 13, 2016

When I was in Year 3 at school my class teacher decided that we would read Roald Dahl stories as a class and then chart them on the wall to see which one was our favourite. Week by week we would read a few chapters, complete projects on the story line and then rate the book in terms of how exciting it was, how much we loved the characters and whether it was a book that we’d like to read again. Needless to say, they all ranked highly, with the top spot changing with each new story.

Today Roald Dahl would have celebrated his 100th birthday. In celebration of this, The Roald Dahl Estate have authorised a new 59 book brings to life the most loved characters and stories. The Gloriumptious Worlds of Roald Dahl gives fans an enchanting new insight into the fascinating mind of the world-famous author.

Take a journey through the works of Roald Dahl in this amazing book. From the writing hut where the magic happened to the different stories that he wrote over the years. The thick pages are filled with details from his classic novels. With fold out sections revealing more information and details, detailed guides on Loompaland, the spotter’s guide to the man-eating giants of giant country and the witchophile’s manual how to recognise a witch!

At the very end of the book is an envelope with a note from Roald Dahl with those famous words…

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it

Such a beautiful tribute to Roald Dahl and a must-have book for any fan. A spectacular scrapbook of stories, characters, and creations that will be enjoyed by young and old.
