Boy is an autobiographical novel of Roald Dahl's childhood, that goes through his school time, and to the start of his career with Shell in Africa. It tells a variety of amusing stories and paints an image of what schooling must have been like for him. Interspersed with the chapters are fragments of letters, photographs, and drawings.
I've read this story before, but not for a while. It's quite strange to think how different things were such a short time ago. It makes me wonder how much things will change between my school years and those of children born when I am old, if so much has changed between his and mine.
