Reviews

Critic Review:

"Roald Dahl is a prince of storytellers and this autobiography … gives one clue as to why – the rich and strange life he has led"
—Daily Mail

"A nonstop demonstration of expert raconteurship"
—The New York Times Book Review

"Very nearly as grotesque as his fiction … the same compulsive blend of wide-eyed innocence and fascination with danger and horror"
—Standard
