Boy: Tales of Childhood

by Roald Dahl

Libby audiobook 3 hours

Published: 1984 (this version 2013)

Read by: Dan Stevens

Genre: non-fiction memoir


I know I've read this before, but since I can't find a blog entry for it, it must have been prior to 2007 or one I just didn't write about.


Roald Dahl tells stories from his childhood. These stories make it abundantly clear where some of his stories and characters come from! He encountered a lot of awful people in his childhood. I'm glad his mom was lovely. The fact that she saved all his letters (from boarding school, college, his first job abroad, etc.) is so very sweet. 


The narrator did a lovely job. This is a wonderful memoir.
