Who is roald dahls most influential person in his life?

Answer 1

Roald Dahl had a small shed in his back garden. In it, there was a table with small memories such as part of his hip bone and a model of the airplane he flew in WW2. He also had an old chair with a back support and faded colours.

He was given inspiration by the items on his table, his life memories and his family and friends.

A few of his stories were set with him as the 1st person and his own life stories exaggerated. His small series about Claude are set in his home town and are based on his friends.

Answer 2

The author's childhood experiences, the death of his sister and his father, and his unhappy years in boarding school influenced his work as did his vivid imagination. Dahl's books might be called modern Fairy Tales. Like Grimm's fairy tales, they are sometimes violent or grotesque and have often been the subject of some controversy. However, they are also well written, humorous and very entertaining. Children break free from their cruel oppressors (adults) and go on to have the most amazing adventures. Goodness triumphs; revenge is sweet; evil is punished. It's no wonder that children 9-12 have continued to enjoy Dahl's tales for decades. I hope this answers your question :)

Answer 3

Roald Dahl's most influential person in his life was his mother, Sofie Magdalene Dahl. She encouraged his love of storytelling and nurtured his imagination. Dahl often credited her for inspiring his creativity and shaping him into the successful author he became.
