"Candy for life and a tour of Willie Wonka's top-secret chocolate factory
was the prize for buying a candy bar containing a Golden Ticket. Here is the
exciting, hilarious, and moral story of the five prizewinners. They were, alas,
repulsive children, with the exception of Charlie Bucket, whose family was so
poor he could only have one candy bar a year. Rich in humor, acutely observant,
Dahl lets his imagination rip in fairyland."-- "The New York Times."

1916–1990
Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter. Born in north Cardiff, Wales, to Norwegian parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, in which he became a flying ace and intelligence agent. He rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors. His short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, often very dark humour. ([Source][1].) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Dahl
