{"product_id":"love-from-boy","title":"Love from Boy","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoald Dahl is loved around the world for his iconic children's books and darkly humorous stories. But he was also a prolific letter writer. From the age of nine under the watchful eye of his headmaster until his death Dahl's life was filled with correspondence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor much of his life Dahl wrote weekly letters to his mother. These letters - littered with jokes and madcap observations sometimes serious sometimes tender and frequently outrageous - shine fresh light onto Dahl's complex personality. They tell of the delights of childhood the dramas of boarding school friendship and betrayal the excitements of flying as a World War II fighter pilot and the thrill of meeting presidents and movie stars during his time as a diplomat in Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarking the 100th anniversary of Dahl's birth these letters capture the beginnings of the fantastical imagination that created some of the world's best-loved children's fiction. With exclusive access to the Roald Dahl Estate's archives Dahl's official biographer Donald Sturrock reveals the man as few before have seen him: in his own words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eStoryteller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A truly magnificent biography . . . a masterly account' A N Wilson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Superb . . . hugely readable' \u003ci\u003eSunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786524717235,"sku":"9781473636026","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477291679781473636026.jpg?v=1762803419","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/love-from-boy","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
