Happy Roald Dahl Day! + Competition

We all know them and I'm sure we all love them! Roald Dahl's amazing body of work has been with us for as long as we could possible remember.

Not only would today have been today Dahl's birthday and also the official celebrated Roald Dahl Day, but this years also sees the 50th anniversary of one of his most infamous classics Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Wowza!

Last year we took a dive into the life and time of Roald Dahl himself with our 10 Facts You Didn’t Know About Roald Dahl, this year we've decided to take a look back at his work and pick out some of our top quotes from some of his all-time classic quotes.

Enjoy!
