Items related to Boy: An Autobiographical Account, 1916-41
The first part, "Boy" is a memoir of Roald Dahl's childhood: family, school, pastimes and the transition from boy to man are portrayed - from the Great Mouse Plot of 1924 and family holidays in Norway, to the testing of chocolate for Cadbury's. In the second part, "Going Solo", Dahl resumes his story, this time as a young man taking up his first job in East Africa. Tales of deadly snakes on the ground, daring deeds in the air, African safaris and terrifying encounters with the Hun are all included in this volume.
