Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was one of the world’s most imaginative, successful and loved storytellers. His stories are currently published in 49 languages worldwide. They continue to inspire the world’s most creative collaborators, resulting in wonderful new movie adaptations, classical music, opera, plays and musicals.

On 13 September 2006, the first national Roald Dahl Day was celebrated – on what would have been Roald’s 90th birthday. Response to the event was so phenomenal that Roald Dahl Day is now marked annually, throughout the world.

Over 100 million copies of Roald Dahl books have been sold globally.

The RSC version of MATILDA - book by Dennis Kelly, music and lyrics by Tim Minchin – is running in London’s West End.

2012 marks 30 years since Roald Dahl’s classic book, THE BFG, was first published.
