In 1942 the author C. S. Forester asked Roald Dahl to write down some notes about his time in the RAF so that he could shape them into a story. However his notes were so good that they were printed in the Saturday Evening Post just as they were. This was Roald Dahl’s first published work and it made him realise he had a real talent for writing.

"Irresistible... Donald Sturrock's book fluently describes a complicated life and relates it to the richness of Dahl's storytelling"
Quentin Blake

Written by Donald Sturrock, Storyteller is a remarkable biography of Roald Dahl one of the world's most exceptional writers; an intimate portrait of an intensely private man hindered by physical pain and haunted by family tragedy.

Donald Sturrock reveals many hitherto hidden aspects of Dahl's extraordinary life in this masterly biography, written with unprecedented access to Dahl's private papers and with reference to hundreds of newly discovered letters. Dahl lives on every page of this book, which conjures up his unique voice and reveals the man as we've never seen him before.
