The Greatest Creator of children's magic within books Hi Bloggers, Before I start this post, I thank you for your comments on the last post I did here and it was great to hear how that you cared a lot for me to say positive things and I am now feeling better in myself. It's not often I feel like that but you lot helped me to think better about myself.

This post is about something which I have another passion for which is reading, and it's about a man that impressed me as a child and who had a great way of making children believe in his stories that he wrote and told to his own children and all the children in the world loved all his funny quirky tales he wrote. Can you guess who I'm on about?

YOU CAN'T?

The answer is simple!

The man who I'm on about is Roald Dahl! You probably have read or seen his books around and even watched some of the films made to celabrate the books. I have always had a passion for reading his books and still do now I'm an adult. His books and films are a great testament to a man who loved writing, and loved to be wiith children and understood their ways, their passions, and interests, and also to have the children be a captive audience for the books he wrote, and he wrote them with his own children in mind and told them the stories and then he would always go down to his writing hut, and write them down to be in print for ever.

I love his stories and they realy do have a certain magic about them. I went and bought the film of Charlie and the Chocolate factory today and the film is great and tells the story as it is in the book with fantastic special effects, great characters from the book, that are madly brought to life by the great kids who play them with freakish enthuasiasm! Johnny Depp who plays Willy Wonka is also highly funny and is very freaky too, with sarcasm and gusto. The Oompa Loompas are played by only one person too which brings a great way of using special effects to make one person seem like lots. I recommend this film as I loved it and thought it told the story very well, and also adding extra parts like Wonka's childhood and seeing his father again after a long time. I loved the kids in this film especially the German boy who played Augustus Gloop and the way he pigged out on the chocolate. I also liked this line from the film: Chewing Gum is gross, Chewing Gum is what I hate the most!

Roald Dahl was a great man and his books and the films are a testament to his genius, Where he lived in England in a place called Great Missenden, in Buckinghamshire(not too far from where I live) is his house where he and his family lived and the house is called Gipsy House, which people are allowed to visit and there's also a museum celbrating his life and work too.

I would love to visit this house and gardens and the museum, because I think all the magic of his books and films are in the spirit of Great Missenden itself and Roald Dahl's spirit lives on.

I leave you with these lines from the BFG:

I is a nice giant, I is a freaky giant , I is the Big Friendly Giant!
