BFG Intro: Who was Roald Dahl?

DID YOU KNOW,

Roald Dahl struggled to get good grades in writing at school?
He worked as a spy a little bit early in his life!
He loved to make up silly words.
Roald Dahl didn't like to sit in movie theaters because his legs were too long for the seats.
He loved eating chocolate... is that what inspired him to write Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory??

Why do people love his books?
-They're often scary, putting kids in genuinely dangerous or hard situations. 
-Kids are the heros, adults are the shmos.
-They're outrageous and silly and they make you think.
-They're fun to read!
