Storyteller: The Authorized Biography of Roald Dahl

Now in paperbackâ€”Donald Sturrockâ€™s Storyteller is â€œa major literary biographyâ€¦packed with intimate details, sharply intelligent commentary, and surprising revelationsâ€ (The Washington Post) of one of the greatest writers in the twentieth century, whose work still delights millions around the world today.

A single-minded adventurer and an eternal child who gave us the iconic Willy Wonka and Matilda Wormwood, Roald Dahl lived a life filled with incident, drama and adventure: from his harrowing experiences as an RAF fighter pilot and his work in British intelligence, to his many romances and turbulent marriage to the actress Patricia Neal, to the mental anguish caused by the death of his young daughter Olivia. In Storyteller, the first authorized biography of Dahl, Donald Sturrockâ€”granted unprecedented access to the Dahl estateâ€™s archivesâ€”draws on personal correspondence, journals and interviews with family members and famous friends to deliver a masterful, witty and incisive look at one of the greatest authors and eccentric characters of the modern age, whose work still delights millions around the world today.
