Roald Dahl was the only boy out of five children born to his mother Sofie (it was his father's second marriage). There were two other half-siblings in his family, Ellen and Louis, from his father's first marriage.
In 1920, when Roald was three years old, his older sister Astri, who was four years older than Roald, died from appendicitis. His younger sisters were Alfhild, Else and Asta. When Roald's father also died, his mother was left destitute with 6 children to care for.
