Les om den forunderlige oppveksten til mannen bak bøker som "Matilda", "SVK", "Heksene" og "Charlie og sjokoladefabrikken". Det er snart 100 år siden Roald Dahl ble født, og barndommen hans minner lite om hvordan vi har det i Norge i dag. Men mye av det han opplevde er forunderlig og fascinerende å lese om. I denne boken forteller han om noe av det som gjorde mest inntrykk på ham.

Noen gjør vondt. Noen er ubehagelige ... Alle er sanne,» sa Roald Dahl om minnene. Les om den tøffe skolehverdagen og de forferdelig strenge lærerne, om hvordan han og vennene lurte damen i godtekiosken med en død mus og ble straffet på det grusomste, om den gangen han mistet nesen og fikk den sydd på igjen på spisebordet, om sommerferiene i Norge og mye, mye mer.
