  • 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).

It continues the spirit of giving that Roald Dahl expressed throughout his life.

  • 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.

So when her neighbours the Greggs go shooting, her magic finger teaches them a lesson they'll never forget In the The Magic Finger, an unnamed eight-year-old girl tells the story of her neighbours, the Gregg family. The Greggs The Magic Finger to The Magic Finger, but the girl can't stand to see animals killed just for fun. Her sense of injustice makes her angry and through her anger she develops a special power - not dissimilar to Matilda Wormwood, another of Roald's young female protagonists. Roald was The Magic Finger much against animal cruelty and his story reflects this, as the girl turns the tables on the Greggs and their love of hunting. After Roald had finished his publishers, wary of offending the powerful US gun lobby, sat on the manuscript until their option to publish had expired. I can't stand hunting. I just can't stand it. It doesn't seem right to me that men and boys should kill animals just for the fun they get The Magic Finger of it.
