About this Book

Roald Dahl: Wales of the Unexpected explores the complex ways in which Roald Dahl engages with Wales--the country of his birth and early life--throughout his work. The contributors reveal how both Dahl's books for children and his fiction for adults can illuminatingly be read in terms of their author's Anglo-Welsh identity. As a result, a new picture of Dahl emerges. Relocated through a Welsh lens, 'the world's number one storyteller' appears in a convincing new light.
