‘It’s hard to find the right word to express our levels of excitement around the Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary. Squackling? Jumpsquiffling? Gigantuous? Roald Dahl’s inventive, playful use of language is such a key element of his writing, whether he was using existing words in his own mischievous way or inventing extra-usual new ones. It is wonderful to have this dictionary compiled with such expertise, passion and wit by Dr Susan Rennie and the team at OUP. There could be no more fitting way to pay tribute to Roald in the year of celebrations for his centenary. Best of all, as a fullyfunctioning dictionary for readers and writers aged eight and above, I hope it serves as a swashboggling source of inspiration for a whole new generation of storytellers.’ LUKE KELLY, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE ROALD DAHL LITERARY ESTATE AND ROALD DAHL’S GRANDSON
• The Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary will be part of the huge programme of events marking the Roald Dahl 100 centenary which will celebrate the magical, inventive and unforgettable language of the World’s Number One Storyteller. • Expect a major jumpsquiffling PR and marketing campaign to reach dillions of children (and grown ups) all around the world.

Gorilla Dawn WRITTEN BY GILL LEWIS
Two children, one gorilla, and their incredible journey to freedom. Deep in the heart of the African jungle, a baby gorilla is captured by rebel soldiers. When Imara and Bobo, two children who are also imprisoned, learn that the gorilla is destined to be sold into captivity, they swear to return it to the wild before it’s too late. Will the bond between the gorilla and the children give them the courage they need to escape? The consequences of getting caught are too terrible to contemplate. • A thrilling, heartbreaking, and inspirational story from an award-winning storyteller and wildlife expert. • Gill has sold over 200,000 books since her debut Sky Hawk published in 2011. • A topical book, which deals with the plight of gorillas in the Congo, and the dangers caused by the mining of coltan—an element present in all our smartphones. • Major national consumer advertising and PR campaigns planned on publication, plus a year-long PR strategy to raise Gill’s profile.
