This little book contains a collection of words that have been invented by Roald Dahl. It makes understanding his books easier, because the strange words now have an explanation.
Whether he invented the words, gave new or twisted meanings to old words or combined words into new the result is great.

I got this book in the parcel that I received for winning the 9th BC / Birthday Sweepstakes. I loved it. Love Roald Dahl's childrens' books and the BFG is one of my favorites. This dictionary contains mostly words from that book, so I was thrilled. I even wrote down my favorite words.
