To mark Roald Dahl Day, celebrated on September 13, we pay tribute to one of the 20th century’s wittiest, most imaginative and wonderfully mischievous writers. His humor, playful spirit, unforgettable characters and enduring affection for outsiders have made his stories classics and inspired some remarkable films. Fantastic Mr. Fox, Matilda and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory offer three distinctive takes on Dahl’s world – a place where being different is an advantage, conventions are made to be challenged, and imagination can rewrite the rules.
