Boy is the story of Roald Dahl's very own boyhood, including tales of sweet-shops and chocolate, mean old ladies, and a Great Mouse Plot. These tales serve as the inspiration for some of his most marvellous storybooks in the years to come.

Full of exciting and strange things, the stories in Boy are a mix of the funny and the frightening. Remarkably, they are all true.
