57: Roald Dahl: Roald the Rotten
Manage episode 399214931 series 3406186
We all know the work of Roald Dahl
He gave the world characters like Willy Wonka and, my personal favorite, Matilda. But from the same mind came child killing witches and, more notoriously, Trunchbull. His writings are often accompanied with sadness suffering, and often paint women in an unflattering light, aside from Miss Honey.
Let's take a peek beyond the pages of another famous children's author, and find out why his own wife dubbed him Rolled the Rotten, a more than well deserved nickname.
