When reading them, I seem to be uplifted without having learnt much. What effect does it have on you?

after perhaps Dickens, the most important british-(norwegian) author whom elevated childen as characters with personalities. Alongsode Tolkien he helped nourish the importance of family, non (anti)-industrial fantasy. Also he also introduced or helped deliver the tradition of fairytale like wondrstorys of HC Andersens tradition. By bringing escapisme and strangeness. The Witches, BFG, Charlie and the Chocolatte Factory, Mathilda, Incredible Mr Fox, and so many more but als hes novella collection offers a complete different and more grotesque side of Dahl. Also hes biographical novel Boy is treat to read. Most of hes books has been read second hand by teachers in school and not by me though i would like to. I compare Roald Dahl easly to swedish author Astrid Lindgren. all good children authors whom lives on in time were masters of the sublime and in tempering with the uncanny nature of humans. -------------
