Roald Dahl’s 100th Birthday Celebration

The celebration will include new editions of Dahl classics featuring Quentin Blake’s illustrations; the Splendiferous Showdown, a touring trivia show starring the Story Pirates; community celebrations across the country; and much more.
The power of Dahl’s imagination is just incredible, and is one of the key reasons that kids, parents, teachers, and librarians immediately latch on to his writing. I am convinced that Dahl honestly believed that one day every child in the world will unleash the extraordinary through his or her own imagination. (Publishers Weekly)
