September 13th marks the birthday of a true literary genius. In elementary school, a great summer did not exist without devouring the library's Roald Dahl section. From Matilda to The Twits to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Dahl painted new worlds for his young readers.
Many children's books are filled with suspense, adventure and humor. However, Dahl went further than this. The author's imagination transformed every story into a genius innovation. His protagonists are unparalleled in their pizazz and vitality. His villains are unsurpassed in their treachery and abhorrence.
If you have never picked up a book from his collection, you have yet to experience true brilliance in the Children's literary world. Be prepared to be amazed.
September 13th is now recognized as Roald Dahl Day. So, an early happy Roald Dahl Day to all!
