"Roald Dahl is one of the world's best-loved authors. More than twenty years after
his death, his books are still highly popular with children and have inspired numerous
feature films -- yet he remains a controversial figure. This volume, the first collection
of academic essays ever to be devoted to Dahl's work, brings together a team of well-known
scholars of children's literature to explore the man, his books for children, and
his complex attitudes towards various key subjects. Including essays on education,
crime, Dahl's humour, his long-term collaboration with the artist Quentin Blake, and
film adaptations, this fascinating collection offers a unique insight into the writer
and his world."--Publisher's website
