Details

Based on the autobiographical bestseller by Roald Dahl, in which he recounts the remarkable tales from his childhood. Set in the schools of England and Wales, Boy is both a moving and devilishly funny account of one child's experiences during the 1920s and 1930s. It's clear to see that the larger-than-life characters and situations from Dahl's childhood have provided the inspiration for many of the books for which he has become so popular the world over. Boy also provides a thought-provoking and challenging look at school life during the inter-war period, suitable for all children aged 8 and above.
