Why did Roald Dahl want to write books?

Answer 1

Roald Dahl was shot down in a plane in WW II and when he went to America a writer asked him to give him facts about what it was like so that he could write a newspaper article about it. Roald Dahl did, and the writer mailed back and said that he had only asked for the facts, but Roald Dahl had written a really good story about it. It was so good, the writer published the story exactly as Roald Dahl had written it. He got a bit well known then, and he started writing books.

Answer 2

Roald Dahl wanted to write books because he enjoyed storytelling and had a vivid imagination. He also wanted to entertain children and create magical worlds for them to escape to. Additionally, writing allowed him to express his creativity and share his unique perspective on the world.

Answer 3

In his second book of memoirs, 'Going Solo' Dahl wrote this:

"when I got back to Dar es Salaam about two weeks later, there was a letter waiting for me from the East African Standard up in Nairobi asking if I would write my own eye-witness description of the incident (the story about the lion, he describes in the book). This I did and in time I received a cheque for five pounds from the newspaper for my first published work."

Roald Dahl says that this was in 1939.

During World War II, Roald Dahl was a fighter pilot. After he was sidelined by severe headaches in 1941, Roald was transferred to Washington, DC where C.S. Forester encouraged Roald to write about his experiences in the Royal Air Force (RAF).
