The Roald Dahl Collection
  
 Kids and adults alike love Roald Dahl's deliciously wicked books. 
Loved for their gleefully evil villains and their often mischievous sensibility, 
Dahl's books introduce us to fantastic creatures and bizarre places -- 
and encourage our imaginations to run wild. 

Born in Llandaff, Wales, to Norwegian parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, 
in which he became a flying ace and intelligence agent. He rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both 
children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors. 

His short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books 
for their unsentimental, often very dark humour.

========================
BBC Drama - The Witches 1.2 by Roald Dahl
BBC Drama - The Witches 2.2  
****This Roald Dahl classic tells the scary, funny and imaginative tale of a seven-year-old boy 
who has a run-in with some real-life witches! In fairy tales witches always wear silly black hats 
and black cloaks and they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale. This is about 
                                                      REAL WITCHES. 
REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in 
ordinary houses and they work in ordinary jobs. That is why they are so hard to catch. Witches, 
as our hero learns, hate children. With the help of a friend and his somewhat-magical grandmother, 
our hero tries to expose the witches before they dispose of him. Ages 7-12



Collins Radio Theatre - BFG  
****The BFG is one of Dahl's most loveable character creations. Whether galloping off with Sophie 
nestled into the soft skin of his ear to capture dreams as though they were exotic butterflies; 
speaking his delightful, jumbled, squib-fangled patois; or whizzpopping for the Queen, 
he leaves an indelible impression of bigheartedness.




Collins Radio Theatre - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory  
******The gates of Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory are opening at last--
                    and only five children will be allowed inside.

******Danny's dad had a secret, but now the secret's out and it's going 
                                                    to lead Danny on the adventure of a lifetime.







Collins Radio Theatre - Esio Trot  
******Mr. Hoppy is in love with Mrs. Silver, but her heart belongs to Alfie, her pet tortoise. 
Mr. Hoppy is too shy to approach Mrs. Silver, until one day he comes up with a brilliant idea 
to win her heart. If Mr. Hoppy's plan works, Mrs. Silver will certainly fall in love with him. 
But it's going to take one hundred and forty tortoises, an ancient spell, and a little bit of magic.






Collins Radio Theatre - Matilda (70 mins)
******Matilda applies her untapped mental powers to rid the school of the evil, 
child-hating headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, 
                   and restore her nice teacher, Miss Honey, to financial security.



Collins Radio Theatre - The Twits 
******Mr. and Mrs. Twit hate almost everything, including their trained monkeys,

                                    But now the Muggle-Wumps want revenge.



BBC - Matilda 1.2 Roald Dahl (2 hours)
BBC - Matilda 2.2
******Meanwhile, Matilda discovers she has psychokinetic powers 
(this is explained as Matilda's tremendous mental prowess, after being 
repressed by her parents and in the classroom, seeking another outlet for itself). 
She learns this inadvertently when her best friend, Lavender, puts a newt in 
Miss Trunchbull's water glass, and Matilda somehow tips the glass 
over with her mind. Matilda confesses this to Miss Honey, 
who is surprised to learn of Matilda's powers.

                              Willy Wonka with rollicking hilarity." -- American Statesman.
