Witches | Roald Dahl

Pickpick

For #RoaldDahl100, here is my favorite! I still giggle when I think about the witches' square feet, they're so delightfully hideous.

Matilda | Roald Dahl

Not just my favorite Roald Dahl book but one of my favorite books, period. I still remember where I was sitting the first time I started reading it. Bonus points because it was purchased through a book order, which was hands down one of the best things about elementary school. Most of the rest were scored during a single trip to my favorite used book store in college.#roalddahl #roalddahlday #roalddahl100

Jillsandypants My daughter just brought home James and the Giant Peach yesterday from her school library. I'm hoping she will work her way through all of these! 8y
ErikaB @Jillsandypants I'm embarrassed to say that some of the books and their movie adaptations have mashed up in my memory, so I have a bit of re-reading to do! 8y
MrBook Excellent choice! Matilda is probably my favorite childhood character 😊👍🏻. And my old copy looks exactly like yours. Great pic. 8y

Happy 100th Birthday, Roald Dahl! Love all his books. This one I really love and the movie is so wonderful too.

My Year | Roald Dahl

"My Year" is a relatively unknown book that Dahl wrote just before he died, with stories from his childhood and gorgeous Quentin Blake watercolors. #RoaldDahlDay #RoaldDahl100

Happy 100th birthday to my favorite author and childhood hero, Roald Dahl! 💖It also happens to be my favorite sister-in-law's birthday, a fellow bookworm not on Listy. Hope everyone has had a scrumdiddlyumptious day. 🍫📚 #RoaldDahlDay #RoaldDahl100

This was the first Roald Dahl book I ever read. The magic of this story took root in my heart and sparked my imagination in ways that I can still see the effects of. Happy #RoaldDahlDay #RoaldDahl100

Celebrating Roald Dahl's birthday.....I bought a few different sets of (not rubber... but clear) stamps of his books a year or so ago. I can't easily get to them at the moment, but here is a screen shot of one of them. #RoaldDahlDay #RoaldDahl100

kwaj Where did you get them? 7y
Suzze @kwaj I wish I could remember. It might have been through Somerset Studios online. 7y

The BFG | Roald Dahl

It's #RoaldDahlDay! Happy 100th birthday! This author had a profound impact on my childhood. #RoaldDahl100 fits perfectly with #septphotochallenge #day13 #faveclassics which makes it much easier, because choosing a favorite classic is like choosing a favorite child (I can't, and I don't want to 😄). It's also my Hubby's birthday, if anyone wants to wish him a happy birthday too! 😊❤️📚

I just picked this one up for a dollar a couple weeks ago. I've never read anything by him except for Charlie and Matilda. Going to try a few tonight. At least the three suggested by gibblr . #roalddahlday #roalddahl100

gibblr Nice! Interested to hear what you think... 8y
quirkyreader Was the cover done by Edward Gorey? It kind of looks Goreyish. 8y
