ROALD DAHL FINE ART PRINT 11 X 14 MATILDA
Roald Dahl is acknowledged as the greatest writer of stories for children working in the 20th Century.
Dahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. S. Forester, was 'A Piece Of Cake' on 1 August 1942. The story, about his wartime adventures, was bought by The Saturday Evening Post for US$1000 (a substantial sum in 1942) and published under the title 'Shot Down Over Libya'.
His first children's book was The Gremlins, published in 1943, about mischievous little creatures that were part of Royal Air Force folklore. All the RAF pilots blamed the gremlins for all the problems with the aircraft. While at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. Dahl sent a copy to the First Lady of the US Eleanor Roosevelt who read it to her grandchildren and the book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made. Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, The BFG, George's Marvellous Medicine and Fantastic Mr Fox.
These wonderful art prints feature the classic illustrations by Quentin Blake and are printed on high quality board. They are ready for framing and ideally sit in an 11x14 inch frame. We offer these for sale and you can buy both together
