Just months before the authorized biography of Roald Dahl was to be published, author Donald Sturrock became aware of some 300 letters written between the Dahl and his beloved friend, Charles Marsh. According to Sturrock these letters “make my subject seem a lot more human. Their discovery hasn’t involved a complete rewrite of the book, but significant sections of it needed to be amended.” As a result, the biography of the beloved author of Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach to name just a few titles, will be published in 2010, the 20th anniversary of Dahl’s death.
