ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Roald Dahl was a spy, an ace fighter pilot, a chocolate
historian and a medical inventor.
He was also the author of Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory, Matilda, The BFG, and a treasury of
original, evergreen, and beloved children’s books. He remains for many the world’s
No. 1 storyteller.
Born in Llandaff, Wales, on 13th September 1916 to Norwegian parents,
Harald Dahl and Sofie Magdalene Hesselberg, Dahl was named after Roald
Amundsen, the Norwegian who had been the first man to reach the South Pole just
four years earlier. A heroic start in life. But his early years were blighted by the tragic
deaths of his older sister, Astri, and his father.
Wanting the best for her only son, his mother sent him to boarding school -
first to St Peter's, Weston-super-Mare; then, in 1929, to Repton - where many bizarre
and memorable events would later be recounted in Boy. Pupils at Repton were invited
to trial chocolate bars, a memory that stayed with Dahl throughout his life,
inspiring Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Schooldays happily behind him, Dahl’s lust for travel took him first to Canada, then
to East Africa, where he worked for an oil company until the outbreak of World War
Two. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force at 23 years old.
In September 1940, Dahl received severe injuries to his head, nose and back
when his Gladiator crash-landed in the Western Desert. After six months recovering
from his injuries in Alexandria he returned to action, taking part in The Battle of
Athens. Later, after a posting to Washington, he supplied intelligence to MI6.
In 1953 Roald Dahl married the American actress, Patricia Neal, with whom he
had five children. They divorced after 30 years, and he later married Felicity “Liccy”
Crosland, who has furthered Roald’s legacy through the foundation of Roald Dahl's
Marvellous Children's Charity and The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre.

In 1960 Roald helped invent the Wade-Dahl-Till valve, prompted by the need
to alleviate the head injuries endured by his son after an accident in New York.
There followed a burst of literary energy: in 1961 James and the Giant
Peach was published in the US, followed by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Roald then wrote screenplays for the James Bond hit You Only Live
Twice and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, as well as adult novels such as Kiss
Kiss. Fantastic Mr. Fox was published in 1970, the year before the film Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was released. The rest of the decade saw the
publication of many other classics, including Danny the Champion of the
World, The Enormous Crocodile, and My Uncle Oswald.
Roald also enjoyed enormous success on television. Having already had his
stories told in six episodes of the award winning US series Alfred Hitchcock
Presents, his Tales of the Unexpected ran for several series between 1979 and 1988
in the UK.
In the early 1980s he published The Twits, Revolting Rhymes, The
BFG and The Witches. There followed two autobiographical books: in 1984
and Going Solo, in 1986. Matilda was published in 1988, Esio Trot in 1990, and
finally, in 1991, came the posthumous delight of The Minpins.
Roald Dahl died on 23 November 1990, aged 74. He was buried in the parish
church of St Peter and St Paul in Great Missenden - the Buckinghamshire village
where today The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre continues his extraordinary
mission to amaze, thrill and inspire generations of children and their parents.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Matilda Wormwood is only five years old, but she is a genius. Unfortunately her
parents are too stupid to even notice. Worse, her horrible
headmistress Miss Trunchbull is a bully who makes life
difficult for Matilda's teacher, Miss Honey, and her friends.
But what Miss Trunchbull doesn't know is that Matilda has a
trick or two up her sleeve...

Matilda won the Children's Book Award shortly after it was published in 1988,
and it has continued to delight audiences ever since. Early drafts of the story were
very different to the one we now know. At first, Matilda was a wicked girl who
eventually used her powers to help her teacher solve her financial problems - by
fixing a horse race. In the end, though, it became the magical story now known to
children the world over.
In 1996 a film version of Matilda was released. Directed by Danny DeVito -
who also starred as Mr Wormwood, alongside Mara Wilson as Matilda and Pam
Ferris as Miss Trunchbull - the film went on to become a cult classic.
In 2010, The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Matilda The
Musical, written by Dennis Kelly and with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, opened
in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, to great critical acclaim. The production transferred to
London's West End a year later, and in spring 2013 the show opened on Broadway.
Matilda was Roald Dahl's last long children's book.

… Несколько месяцев назад к Погребенниковым зашли старые знакомые
Смирновы. Как водится, в таких случаях, Виктор Степанович сбегал в магазин,
и пошли воспоминания. В самом начале застолья в комнату вошел младший
Погребенников и сказал: «Завтра у меня контрольная по английскому. Шли бы
вы лучше в кафе. И дешевле, и модно, и посуду мыть потом не надо.»
Смирновы сразу закричали: дескать, смотрите, какой умный мальчик,
современный, раскрепощенный - но папе Погребенникову слова сына не
понравились. Что это за нахальство - входить при посторонних людях в
комнату и делать замечания отцу? Попробуй он раньше, когда был
маленький, сделать замечание своему родителю, немедленно бы получил по
одному месту.
Смирновы тут же засобирались на вокзал. «Ничего особенного не
произошло» - утешали они расстроенных Погребенниковых, -
«Современный ребенок. Акселерация. Сейчас у всех такие. У нас, наверное,
тоже будет такой.» Выяснение отношений в семье Погребенниковых
продолжалось далеко за полночь, однако ни к чему определенному не
привело. Старшее поколение Погребенниковых считало, что уж один-то раз
уроки можно было учить под одеялом, а Его Королевское Величество
