Video: James and the Giant…Cherry?
A few of the things I learned while watching this Today Show video featuring Roald Dahl’s daughter Lucy:
- Which of Dahl’s books he himself fancied the most (any guesses?)
- How Dahl made use of a captive focus group.
- How Dahl made one of his books come to life for his kids (until he fell off a ladder).
- Dahl loved throwing some money down at the racetrack.
