This is the story of a little girl called Sophie, who helps a good giant called the BFG, save humanity from some horrid, vile giants, who eat people.

Originally published by Jonathan Cape Ltd. as: The BFG This story is about a little girl called Sophie who finds out that giants really do exist! My favourite part of the book is when the BFG kidnaps Sophie because it's exciting and dramatic. The BFG uses made up words because he never ever went to school. He has made up long words which are funny, like whizzpopper. Sophie was petrified when she first saw the BFG, but their friendship grew and Sophie and the BFG became friends forever. Dahl was a staunch believer in regular treats. Along with his own hipbone (a keepsake from an operation), a dull silver, cannonball-shaped weight sat proudly on his writing desk, made from hundreds of the scrunched together foil wrappers from his daily Kit Kat habit.

They then choose to lay siege to the Foxes, surrounding the hole and waiting until Mr Fox becomes hungry enough to come out. Cornered by their enemies, Mr Fox and his family, and all the other underground creatures that live around the hill, begin to starve.

Roald Dahl is one of Britain’s most famous children’s authors and his much-loved books and poems continue to engage and inspire. Roald Dahl Day takes place every year on 13th September and you’ll find plenty here to help you mark it, but why leave it until then?
