Roald Dahl's childhood memoir, 'Boy', is available in our series of Slightly Foxed Editions: foxedquarterly.com/shop/roal… His Desert Island Discs interview with Roy Plomley only emphasizes just how funny, observant and articulate Dahl is in person as well as on paper.
We're enormous fans of @BBCRadio4's Desert Island Discs in the Slightly Foxed office and were delighted to discover Roald Dahl's episode in the archive: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009mwx… It's the perfect accompaniment to Roald Dahl's childhood memoir, 'Boy', our latest SF edition.
