Presents humorous anecdotes from the author's childhood which includes summer vacations in Norway and an English boarding school.
Kurzes, schönes Buch und erholsam, auch mal was über eine – zumindest was die Familienseite angeht – glückliche Kindheit und Jugend zu lesen. Weniger harmlos: die Schule, was man ahnen kann, wenn man schon mal irgendwas über britische Internate oder irgendwas von Roald Dahl gelesen hat.
Roald Dahl'in çocukluğu ve okul hayatını anlattığı güzel bir kitap. O zamanlar okul okumanın ne kadar zor olduğunu anlatması açısından önemli.
Roald Dahl is a great narrator, and so, even the most trivial anecdotes about his childhood are fun to read. It is not a great book as a whole simply because it consists of a bunch on loosely connected stories he remembers, but getting to know these details of his life and his family really put a perspective on who he is a s a writer and a human.
Worth reading, but not life changing.
