    Roald was born in 1916 in Wales. His father was rich but he died when Roald was young, Roald's mother brought him up. He left school early. Roald went to Africa to look for his fortune(财富), and he spent two years working for an oil company. In 1939, Roald joined the Air Force as a pilot, but he had a bad accident in the desert.

    Roald became more and more successful. He always did his writing in an old room at the back of his house. He always sat in the same old armchair. “One of the nice things about being a writer," he once said, "is that you just need what you've got in your head and a pencil and a bit of paper."
