My favourite author - Roald Dahl

My favourite author is Roald Dahl because he is very talented at writing stories. He has written up to 100 books. I have read many books that he has written with his illustrator Quentin Blake.
 My favourite book is "The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me" because it has good words and pulls you right into his stories and makes you feel like your part of his world.
When he was in his teens, he went and worked for the Shell company and Shell sent him to Africa where he encountered a Black Mamba and many other things like the Black Mamba sneaking into his house in Africa and killing his dog and making new friends.
In WW2 he was a fighter pilot. He was shot down and crash landed in the desert.
He wrote alot of his adventures in his books with different characters.
He died in 1974 in England. You can visit his little hut where he used to write.
