Roald Dahl Story Day
13 September 2024
Roald Dahl Story Day is a day dedicated to #RoaldDahl. It commemorates him and all his incredible achievements. #RoaldDahlStoryDay is celebrated every year on his birthday, the 13th of September, and people all over the world come together to celebrate the magic he brought to, and continues to bring, children everywhere.
Though Roald Dahl wrote many books during his lifetime there are a few notable stories he wrote that have captivated readers worldwide.
The first book Roald Dahl had published was The Gremlins, which loosely inspired the little creatures in the 1984 Steven Spielberg film of the same name. He’s also written many more magical books, like Matilda, The BFG and James and the Giant Peach. But, arguably his most famous book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which has been made into two Hollywood films. In total, he sold more than 250 millions copies of his books, worldwide.
