Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl

Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl - 176 pages

In this memoir, author Roald Dahl recalls his childhood growing up. It includes stories of his time at school, his vacations in Norway, and his first job with the Shell Company.

I really enjoyed the audio edition of this book.  The narration by actor Dan Stevens, Legion and Downton Abbey, is wonderful.  The stories were interesting and humorous.  Dahl did a great job of illustrating how things were different in the 1920-30s from today.  I look forward to listening to the sequel Going Solo about his time with the Shell Company and during World War II.
