I learned a few interesting facts.

I am currently trying to read every book by Roald Dahl for 2017. When I saw that there was a "Who Was…" about him I had to read it. Even though I have read Roald's two autobiographies I still learned a little bit of new information.Roald Dahl flew ace for the British Air Force. He was married to an actress (new information to me). He also wrote books and screenplays for adults and did so much more! You will have to read to find out :)

Roald Dahl had a tragic life, and it wasn't until later in life, he began writing children's stories. His stories are legendary, and very imaginative.

Who Was Roald Dahl? by True Kelley is one of the super great ones of the series! It tells a lot of the inside scoop of this extraordinary man. I learned so much from this book! Wow! His war record, personal life, and so much more I don't want to give away! A must read for anyone that loves his books or him. A man of many mysteries. Loved this book.

Thanks to Mischenko for turning me onto this book/series. I enjoyed this quick read and learned quite a bit about Roald Dahl. Now I want to read the rest of his works. A very quick read with cute drawings.

It takes a unique imagination to write children's books, and that is certainly what Roald Dahl had. However, this book was more than just about the man who wrote so many popular titles - it was about a family man who had up and down personality swings and a tough family life. I now know that most of his ideas for his stories came from real-life situations. Glad my Book Club partner and I chose this one!

Who was Roald Dahl is a good book. the whole story shows interesting /significant details about roald dahl. The reason i like this book is it shows how his childhood was and what struggles he face.The whole book shows just how interesting Roald Dahl is.If you like reading biography books,well i recommend this book.

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

I really liked reading about Roald Dahl. I learned a lot about him that I never knew before. For example, he was a fighter pilot in World War 2, and he was married to a Hollywood actress for 30 years. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because there were some parts in the book that weren't as interesting as they could be.

Incredibly fascinating and packed with a lot of facts for a shorter biography. Roald Dahl must have experienced about everything a person could experience in life. This will definitely inspire the reader to go on a tear reading his books.

Super interesting! My Parents got this book after reading the BFG book (and seeing the movie). I'm a big Roald Dahl fan - so it was wonderful learning more about his unusual life! Very inspirational for kids who want to be authors, too...

This was an interesting listen. I really love Roald Dahl and he had a fascinating life. There was so much I didn't know.

I had just finished the book "Who was Roald Dahl" and I rate this book 3 stars because while I was reading it..i thought it was an okay book in my opinion. If I HAD to read this book again I would but if I had the option for another book I would personally chose a different book. This book told about the life of a famous or well known author Roald Dahl. He wrote many children books and some adult books. I had read one of his books in 3rd grade (The BFG) and thought it was a great book and it was...

This was a very inspirational book about Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl was one of most children's books writers and was a fighter pilot in World War II! I liked reading about the true story of Roald Dahls painful, exiting, adventurist life.

102 pages. This biography of a famous children’s writer was interesting. I learned a lot about his life that I had never known. I think kids would be surprised by all the things he did and tragedy he suffered. It is one biography that will linger in your memory and make you appreciate his work even more after reading it. Highly recommended for Grades 4-6.

Project Learning English by myself through children's books.Page 96: "Roald Dahl wanted the money that he made to go to good causes. While he was alive, he was generous toward many hospitals, charities, and individuals.After he died, Liccy '(his second wife)' started the Roald Dahl Foundation to continue giving to worthy causes. It has now become Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity.Because so many people in Roald's family suffered brain injuries, the charity gives grants in neurology, the...

I loved this story. So many facts and I learned so much about him I didn't know. Even though this is a middle grade book, I'd recommend it to any Roald Dahl fan!

I'm a big fan of the Who Is/Was series, and found this among the better biographies I've read from it. It expanded my knowledge on the life of Roald Dahl - what an interesting guy! Art collector, chocolate lover, plane crash survivor, WWII hero and flying ace, - experiencing terrible tragedy as a father of five children, and he had impact on health and medicine - helping to invent a brain shunt and revolutionizing recovery in stroke survivors.It's also very blunt about the fact that he was not p...

NovemberWho Was Roald Dahl?True KelleyRoald Dahl flew a fighter plane in the military, but that's not what you would know him for today. Roald Dahl was an author who wrote your favorite children's books such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and The BFG. Dahl was born in 1916 in Wales, and his mother is the one who inspired him to write fantasy books like these. When he was very young, Dahl's mother created stories of magical creatures and read them to her son. This happened up unti...

This was a creatively done biography on Roald Dahl. This biography tells of his days as a mischievous young boy until his death. All of his accomplishments as a literary figure are displayed, but this biography focuses on his life as a whole. His days at school when he took solitude in riding his motorcycle. The service he put in with The Royal Navy and eventually came to America. This really opened my eyes to how much Roald Dahl did in his life aside from the books I loved as a child.This is a
