Roald Dahl

1916, United Kingdom — 1990

Roald Dahl is known for children's classics such as Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. His stories combine dark humor with imaginative storytelling. His books have been challenged for language, violence, and perceived inappropriate themes. Dahl's work has also sparked ongoing debates about posthumous editing of texts — a form of censorship he would not have consented to.
