In <i>Storyteller, </i>the first authorized biography of Dahl, Donald Sturrock--granted unprecedented access to the Dahl estate's archives--draws on personal correspondence, journals and interviews with family members and famous friends to deliver a masterful, witty and incisive look at one of the greatest authors and eccentric characters of the modern age, whose work still delights millions around the world today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A major literary biography...packed with intimate details, sharply intelligent commentary and surprising revelations.
