  • 1 Character Analysis of Matilda Wormwood from Roald Dahl's
    1 Character Analysis of Matilda Wormwood from Roald Dahl's Matilda Roald Dahl’s Matilda is one of the most famous children’s novels of the 20th century. The protagonist of this tale is Matilda Wormwood, a five and a half-year-old girl with a brilliant and lively mind that distances her from the rest of the family. Matilda’s character is particularly interesting as she has a powerful personality with extraordinary mental abilities, and she manages to overcome all the obstacles that surround her. The main aspect of Matilda’s personality is her particular image. From the beginning of the novel, Dahl described Matilda as exceptional person: “the child in question is extraordinary, and by that, I mean sensitive and brilliant” (1). Natov called her a rebellious superhero child with extraordinary mental strengths (140). Moreover, it is interesting that coming for the first time to the library, Matilda starts reading the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. This fact makes a reader assume that a great change will happen with the main character. However, Matilda is growing up surrounded by a not appreciating environment. The girl’s parents are not interested in education or literature. Her mom, Mrs Wormwood, spends afternoons playing bingo, and her dad, Mr Wormwood, is a cheater. As grotesquely described by the author, they were too involved in their “silly little lives” to understand how special their daughter is (Dahl 2). Matilda, therefore, is continually told by her parents that she is “a noisy chatterbox” and that “small girls should be seen and not heard” (Dahl 11).

  • The Witches FINAL Opening Extract
    ________________________________ Opening extract from The Witches Written by Roald Dahl Illustrated by Quentin Blake Published by Puffin Books an imprint of Penguin Books Ltd All Text is Copyright © of the Author and/or Illustrator Please print off and read at your leisure. A Note about Witches In fairy-tales, witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks, and they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy-tale. This is about REAL WITCHES. The most important thing you should know about REAL WITCHES is this. Listen very carefully. Never forget what is coming next. REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS. That is why they are so hard to catch. A REAL WITCH hates children with a red-hot sizzling hatred that is more sizzling and red-hot than any hatred you could possibly imagine. A REAL WITCH spends all her time plotting to get rid of the children in her particular territory. Her passion is to do away with them, one by one. It is all she thinks about the whole day long. Even if she is working as a cashier in a supermarket or typing letters for a busi- nessman or driving round in a fancy car (and she could be doing any of these things), her mind will always be plotting and scheming and churning and burning and whizzing and phizzing with murderous bloodthirsty thoughts. ‘Which child,’ she says to herself all day long, ‘exactly which child shall I choose for my next squelching?’ 1 Text (C) Roald Dahl.

  • Roald Dahl the Twits Hairy Faces Whata Lot of Hairy-Faced Men There
    Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html Roald Dahl The Twits Hairy Faces Whata lot of hairy-faced men there are around nowadays. When a man grows hair all over his face it is impossible to tell what he really looks like. Perhaps that's why he does it. He'd rather you didn't know. Then there's the problem of washing. When the very hairy ones wash their faces, it must be as big a job as when you and I wash the hair on our heads. So what I want to know is this. How often do all these hairy-faced men wash their faces? Is it only once a week, like us, on Sunday nights? And do they shampoo it? Do they use a hairdryer? Do they rub hair-tonic in to stop their faces from going bald? Do they go to a barber to have their hairy faces cut and trimmed or do they do it themselves in front of the bathroom mirror with nail-scissors? I don't know. But next time you see a man with a hairy face (which will probably be as soon as you step out on to the street) maybe you will look at him more closely and start wondering about some of these things. Mr Twit Mr Twit was one of these very hairy-faced men. The whole of his face except for his forehead, his eyes and his nose, was covered with thick hair. The stuff even sprouted in revolting tufts out of his nostrils and ear-holes.

  • By Dr.Seuss) Brad Peterson, Publicity & Promotions Coordinator
    Our Fav, ourite Childrens Books! To celebrate World Book Day 2018, we asked a few members of the Jolly Team about their favourite children’s books... Fantastic Mr Fox (by Roald Dahl) Jonathan Partington, Sales Director “Easy winner; Fantastic Mr Fox. I know you don’t need to know why as it is so obviously the best kids book ever written, by the best children’s author to have ever lived, illustrated (eventually) by a genius with coloured pens, but in case anyone has had the misfortune to miss the Fantastic Mr Fox... The book has it all, a hero, evil villains, teamwork and adventure. Mr Fox is as his name suggests, fantastic. He is the perfect hero, he has his faults but his daring, charm and skills shine through so he can save the day. Which, as luck would have it is exactly what he does. Having put his whole community at risk by being just a little too good at being a fox, he gets his gang together and leads them all to a famous, fantastic victory, while the baddies are left sitting out in the cold!” Oh, the Places Youll, Go! (by Dr.Seuss) Brad Peterson, Publicity & Promotions Coordinator “You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” “I didn’t actually discover this book until I was an adult, but it’s easily my favourite. Aside from Dr. Seuss’ lyrical genius - entertaining yet incredibly easy to read - the message is really powerful, even for adults.
