Boy: Tales of Childhood
Boy: Tales of Childhood

Hilarious childhood tales by master storyteller Dahl.

If you've ever wondered about the real-life inspiration behind Roald Dahl's unforgettable characters, "Boy: Tales of Childhood" is the perfect peek behind the curtain. This isn't just a book for kids—adults will find themselves chuckling and perhaps even shedding a nostalgic tear over Dahl's vivid recount of his own formative years. It's storytelling that connects with any reader who appreciates the intersection of humor, honesty, and the occasional touch of the absurd.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
