More About Boy: Tales from Childhood pdf

Roald Dahl fue un novelista, cuentista y guionista británico de ascendencia noruega, que saltó a la fama en la década de 1940 con obras tanto para niños como para adultos, y se convirtió en uno de los autores más vendidos del mundo.
El primer trabajo publicado de Dahl, inspirado en una reunión con C. S. Forester, fue Shot Down Over Libya. Hoy la historia se publica como A Piece of Cake. La historia, sobre sus aventuras durante la guerra, fue comprada por el Saturday Evening Post por $ 900 y lo impulsó a una carrera como escritor. Su título se inspiró en un artículo muy inexacto y sensacionalista sobre el accidente que lo cegó, que afirmaba que había sido derribado en lugar de simplemente tener que aterrizar por falta de combustible.
