Roald Dahl: The Missing Golden Tickets

Roald Dahl: The Missing golden Tickets and other Splendiferous Secrets
    



If you are a Roald Dahl fan, and frankly, who isn't, then you simply have to read this book!

Inside you will learn all about the "missing children" from "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

Roald Dahl said" Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."



Did you know that:
  • Willie Wonka's Oompa Loompas were originally called Whipple Scrumpets?"
  • Roald Dahl wanted to get rid of history teachers and replace them with chocolate teachers?
  • At age 13 Roald Dahl did not get good grades in school? His teachers wrote"ideas limited" "consistently idle and too pleased with himself" and "rather dazed...might work harder" yet he grew up and became one of the world's most beloved authors
  • Roald Dahl kept two idea books that he wrote in for over 40 years


Also inside the book you'll see Willie Wonka recipes, information about his illustrator, secret writing tips, Charlie's Quiz, and the missing chapter with the original ending to "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"

So go to the Roald Dahl display in our fiction section and check out your copy today!
