pointof view of a child. They typically involve adult villainswho
hate and mistreat children. They usually contain alot of black
humour and grotesque scenarios.Dahls stock characters are possibly
a reference to the abusethat Dahl stated that he experienced in the
boarding schoolshe attended, including gruesome violence.Sir
Quentin Saxby Blake, an English cartoonist illustratedDahls
children's books. His quick, loose style, gave theimpression of him
not taking long to do his illustrations at all,however, it is quite
the opposite. There is a huge amount ofplanning that goes into each
of his works, and many discarded roughs. 16. Roahl Dahl books that
