Roald Dahl was a professional writer, and his ideas for stories came from many different sources. According to some accounts, Dahl's characterization of evil schoolmates, cruel adults, and tyrannical teachers came from his own childhood and schooling. Perhaps Matilda is an expression (just 2 years before Dahl's death) of aspects of his own past.
