Everyone loves Ronald Dahl

I have thought Ronald Dahl was cool since I was eight years old and wrote him a letter and sent him stamps. He sent them back saying I should have known the United Kingdom used different stamps than the United States and didn't I learn that in school already? (I thought maybe he'd someday be traveling and it would be a way to 'pay' him for his postage to write back to me.) So, he's been a bit of a hero to me since that time. So when I saw the book Boy : Tales of Childhood I couldn't wait to read it. It was great, and I couldn't wait to finish it. It told about his beating by schoolmasters as well as summers in Norway. (I now hope to visit Norway someday after hearing his accounts of it!) This was an excellent book and I finished it quite quickly.
