Dahl in communities surrounded by privately owned timberland.
Finally, Altman's long-held desire to adapt some of
Dahl's macabre adult short stories into a TV series is edging closer to fruition.
Dahl's classic tale tells the story of gifted Matilda Wormwood, who is treated badly by her parents and attends a school with Trunchbull as the evil head-teacher.

Dahl Literature Estate, Cardiff council and the Welsh Government, Literature Wales has now revealed that Cardiff Castle will play host to James, the adventurous hero of James and the Giant Peach, Roald
Dahl's first novel for children.
The house, which was built in 1931 and is for sale at PS825,000, is in Bexley where the
Dahl family lived during WWII until they were bombed out of their home during an air-raid.
Narrated by storyteller Afsheen Hameed from Education Bay School the children listened to stories written by Roald
Dahl such as 'Enormous Crocodile' and 'Big Friendly Giant' and also participated in other interactive and fun activities.
