Did anyone make their own marvellous medicine from toothpasre and bits of old sock and the like?
Also forgot about the opening of the BFG which is genuinely creepy.
Boy is really good The Witches gave me nightmares (film) James and the giant peach is cool so are all of them tbh
Matilda is the absolute best though
As a teacher I’m wary of making kids read books we read as kids as there are so many good contemporary authors and a lot of our old favourites won’t necessarily appeal to kids today. Ronald Dahl is absolutely timeless though #absoluteledge
George’s Marvellous Medicine
BFG and Danny Champ for me lads.
Fantastic Mr Fox Danny the Champion of the World George’s Marvellous Medicine The Twits
yeah i liked it really. ‘proper literature’ though just cos his other ones are more fantastical and dont involve some dick killing birds doesnt make them less proper
I have to go back and read these books. Books of his that I loved that haven’t been mentioned so far (I think):
Of course, they’re all “proper”. But Danny is far better written.
