The link above is to a really great article about just how big a bastard Roald Dahl really was (hint:  HUGE!).

Here is an article where my favoritest book in all of children’s literature is described thusly:

"A novel about a pedophilic monster who abducts a young girl and forces her to stare at the phalluses of larger giants"

And still, the awe-struck wonder that I feel towards Roald Dahl’s children’s books remains unaffected.  I have no doubts that he was a royal prick, but it just doesn’t matter.
