He spent  his childhood in England and, at age  eighteen, went to work for the  Shell Oil Company in Africa. When World  War II broke out, he joined the  Royal Air Force and became a fighter  pilot. At the age of twenty-six  he moved to Washington, D.C., and it was  there he began to write. His  first short story, which recounted his  adventures in the war, was  bought by \u003ci\u003eThe Saturday Evening Post\u003c\/i\u003e,  and so began a long and  illustrious career. After establishing himself  as a writer for adults,  Roald Dahl began writing children's stories in  1960 while living in  England with his family. His first stories were  written as  entertainment for his own children, to whom many of his books  are  dedicated. Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved   storytellers of our time. Although he passed away in 1990, his   popularity continues to increase as his fantastic novels, including \u003ci\u003eJames and the Giant Peach\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMatilda\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe BFG\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCharlie and the Chocolate Factory\u003c\/i\u003e, delight an ever-growing legion of fans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuentin Blake is a well-known artist whose work has made him popular on both sides of the Atlantic.
