Tomorrow, the 13th of September, is Roald Dahl's birthday. Although he passed away many years ago his legacy lives on. Each year I tell my student's a little bit about how Roald Dahl wrote his books. 'Fantastic Mr Dahl' written by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Quentin Blake is a great resource to have.
This is a view of Roald Dahl's writing shed which can be seen in the Roald Dahl Museum. it was taken apart piece by piece, cleaned and reconstructed in the museum. It is unusual to see someone set up their writing area in an armchair using a sort of tray to write! He had some very interesting items in his shed, including a piece of his bone that had been shaved away during surgery.
