Agus Roald Dahl ar cheann de na húdair ba mhó a chuaigh i bhfeidhm ar pháistí óga, is maith an scéal é go bhfuil fáil ag léitheoirí Gaeilge anois ar cheann dá leabhar is cáiliúla. Beidh an bunscéal ar eolas ag go leor daoine cheana féin, scéal a phléann le heachtraí diabhlaíochta a thiteann amach nuair a thagann mac ar an eolas faoi chaitheamh aimsire rúnda atá ag a athair.
Oh Mince My Maggots! This book is absolutely phizz-wizzing. It may not come as a surprise to his fans, but Roald Dahl invented over 500 swashboggling words and character names and now for the first time in celebration of this beloved author’s 100th birthday they’re all available in one dictionary. Compiled by lexicographer Dr Susan Rennie in conjunction with Oxford University Press this book claims to contain only the really interesting words. It is made up of the everyday words used by Dahl in his stories, as well as his invented words, character and place names.
