In loving memory of Roald Dahl, who passed away November 23, 1990, 21 years ago this coming week .. A great author of children’s books – the best author, my daughter says, now at the age of 25, and still her favorite. My daughter, Katie, read every one of his books at least once, many of them multiple times in her younger days. Then, while Katie was studying abroad in Cambridge, England, I came for a visit and together we visited the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Great Missenden in April 2008. For 36 years, Mr. Dahl lived and wrote in this beautiful, charming, little English village. It’s just a short ride by train, from London. If you ever have the chance, visit the museum, then take the short walk to the cemetery and follow the BFG’s giant steps from the circular benches to Mr. Dahl’s final resting place, where forever fans frequently leave mementos. It will warm your heart.
