We have read several books in our life. All of us have a specific author who can bring joy in our life. We all love them for different reasons; whether it is for liking their way of writing or the characters they make. My favorite author is Roald Dahl.
First I read books by Enid Blyton. But, later, as I started to read Roald Dahl’s book, he became my favorite author. Sooner, I got to know about his personal life. His birth, death, books he had written, prizes he had won, his family life and many more. Also, our English teacher made us research on Roald Dahl when we read, ‘James and the Giant Peach.’
I like Roald Dahl for his sense of humor and creativity. The illustrations in his books always fascinate me. The funny characters with their unique personalities are delightful to read. Roald Dahl has a way with words. His language is so simple yet so different, that it makes it easy for children to understand what he is trying to convey.
Moreover, all of his books had lessons worth learning. Everyone must read at least one Roald Dahl’s book for sheer joy. In addition, we must suggest children to read his books for exciting adventures full of giants, witches, trots, chocolate factories and more. The illustrations in Roald Dahl’s books make it even more interesting to read them. It’s often illustrated by Quentin Blake. His books are relevant even today and the lessons still apply to this world and will do forever.
