Top Boy Flashcards

Welcome to our flashcards set on Boy, by Roald Dahl. Autobiographical in nature, Boy focuses on the author's life from birth until finishing school, and largely examines life in Britain during the 1920s and 30s. Some of you may have considered writing as a career. If so, reading about Roald Dahl's life may be for you. Boy is more than just a biography or an assessment of living in Britain during a certain time in history – it's also the story of how Roald Dahl was led to his life as a writer.

It covers his influences, inspirations, struggles, and much more. Dahl is an author with a genuine talent for relating stories from his own life – stories that might not always be the most lighthearted or fun. Regardless, they shaped him into the author he is today, and Boy has much to offer even for students who can't relate too well to his upbringing or desires.
