Roald Dahl , one of the world's most beloved children's authors, but he also had a very successful career writing short stories for adults.After establishing himself as a writer for adults, Roald Dahl began writing children's stories in 1960 while living in England with his family. His first two novels, James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, are now considered classics and both have been made into blockbuster films. He was the winner of England's two most distinguished literary awards, the Whitbread Prize and the Children's Book Award, and seventeen of his works are perennial bestsellers.
Recently, I saw one of his books, James and the Giant Peach. I think it's amazing that he can describe a child's fear so vivid. He not only uses different adjectives to put child's fear into a real situation, but also makes us feel like one of the role in this story. I wish I can do some good works as well as he does.

Wow that brings back memories. I remember having to read James and the Giant Peach in class. I think it was in the 4th grade.
Actually now that I think about it, I think our teacher was actually reading it to us (a little bit each day)
Sometimes I want to go back to the child time. It makes me relaxed~
