Happy birthday, Roald Dahl!

Is there a child alive who has not heard, read, or watched a story by Roald Dahl? If such a child exists, I must condemn his/her parents/family/teachers to one of the lower circles of hell for depriving him/her of some of the best stories available for kids. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches...all the wonder and horrors and dreams and fears that populate kids' imaginations, orchestrated and presented in a way that captivates not only kids, but their parents as well. Go back and read them again as a birthday tribute.
