Roald Dahl Fans
"Written by Dahl fan Kristine Howard (a recent graduate of Notre Dame, now living in London) this site is tops for homework help, ideas for teachers, and just plain fun. Strengths are Howard’s Dahl biography, time line and photo gallery; the thirteen original Dahl trivia quizzes and crossword puzzles; and the photo essays of Howard’s tour of Dahl’s Gipsy House in Great Missenden, England (where she met the original Big Friendly Giant.) As someone who writes in an open space between her kitchen and family room, I was fascinated with the pictures of the writing hut where Dahl worked."
