Dahl has a way of writing even in memoirs that shines through and paints everything in a certain bucolic, if somewhat disturbing, light. A pretty quick read that was entertaining throughout. The illustrations and images he includes bring more life to the stories, and although a number are dark expositions on the widespread child abuse of the 20th century, it didn't embitter him to the joys of the world. I recommend this to anyone who enjoy's Dahl's books and wants some insight into his life.
