Bonita is adventurous and likes to snuggle with humans. We are 19 weeks old, spayed and vaccinated.

Sept. 13, 2023 marks what would have been Roald

Dahl’s 107th birthday!

Dahl wrote many of his stories in a little shed at the bottom of his garden: Known as his ‘writing hut’, Dahl sat in a battered old armchair and penned famous tales such as Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

He was a fighter pilot in World War II: During a flight in a Gloster Gladiator (fighter plane) in 1940 over Libya, Dahl crash landed in the desert and survived – all because he’d been given the wrong directions!

Dahl wrote for around four hours every single day: From 10am – 12pm, and then 4pm – 6pm.

He never learned how to type: Instead, Dahl preferred to do all his writing in an old red book in pencil.

When Roald Dahl died in 1990, he was buried with some of his favourite things: Including a power drill, chocolate, snooker cues and of course, his HB pencils.

SHOPPERS

Dahl invented over 250 new words: There’s even an official Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary to help you tell your snozzcumbers from your snozzberries.

Many of Dahl’s characters were based on people he’d met in real life: The grandmother in The Witches is said to be based on Dahl’s mother, and the little girl in The BFG was named after his granddaughter, Sophie.

Writing wasn’t his strong point at school: – according to his teachers, anyway!

In 1971, a real man named Willy Wonka wrote to Roald Dahl: He was a postman from Nebraska.

Roald Dahl was a giant! Okay, not quite like the ones in his stories, but he was 6 foot 6 inches tall! This earned him the nickname ‘Lofty’ when he served in the RAF.

Dahl was a spy: During World War II he passed intelligence to MI6 from Washington.
