I started re-reading THE BFG a few weeks ago in honor of "Roald Dahl Day." THE BFG is my favorite Dahl book, so it was awesome to revisit it. Of course, it's just the strangest thing that a giant reaches in to an orphanage, kidnaps a little girl, and when he takes her back to England, no one questions the kidnapping! And, even though Sophie has only known the BFG for one day, they've already connected such that she looks at him as a father and he at her as a daughter....even though half the time, the BFG is accusing Sophie of being rude, interrupting and/or correcting him all the time.
No matter what, though, I love Dahl! I wish I'd been more aware of him when I was younger because he was alive when I was in high school and just starting college. I could have gone to a book signing or something like that if I'd been paying better attention! Oh well. At least now I can appreciate him and his works as they deserve to be....!!!
I sure hope everyone gets a chance to pick up and read ANY Roald Dahl book as soon as you can!
