Great writer Roald Dahl is best known for his children's work -- some, such as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, adapted into Hollywood movies -- but his writing for adults is also masterful. His stories are very fun and innovative, often with unusual twists and dark humor: His work was highly regarded by such peers as Ernest Hemingway. Roald Dahl first started his career as a writer penning magazine articles recounting his experiences as a fighter pilot, bravely risking his life to shoot down Nazi planes. Even after being seriously wounded and hospitalized for six months after Nazis shot his plane down, Dahl resumed flying as a fighter pilot, combatting the Nazis. Roald Dahl was one of the war heros who helped defeat Hitler and the Nazis, and free the world of Nazism, so that we can enjoy the freedoms we enjoy today. Though Roald Dahl is no longer with us, helping free the world of Nazism, and his wonderful array of masterful stories and other written works -- translated into dozens of languages -- are legacies for which adults and children alike around the world are grateful.
