Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl bol britský spisovateľ, známy hlavne od roku 1940 tvorbou pre deti i dospelých. K jeho najznámejším dielam patrí "Charlie a továreň na čokoládu" , "Matilda", "Čarodejnica" a "Jakub a obrovská broskyňa". Z jeho tvorby pre dospelých je asi najznámejšia kniha poviedok "Ľúbostné rošády".

Roald Dahl sa narodil 13. septembra v roku 1916 v Spojenom kráľovstve. Jeho rodičia sa tam prisťahovali z Nórska. Keď mal  4 roky, umrel jeho otec na zápal pľúc, predtým prišiel o sedemročnú sestru Astri. Jeho matka ostala na Britských ostrovoch. Bol výborným športovcom, hral za školský futbalový tím a bol aj kapitánom školského sqauhového tímu.

Po skončení školy sa stal obchodným zástupcom firmy Shell pre oblasť východnej Afriky. V roku 1939 nastúpil do Royal Air Force, kde získal hodnosť Pilot Officer. Pri havárii jeho litedla v Lýbii sa zranil, mal fraktúru lebky a dočasne oslepol. V nemocnici v Alexandrii sa zamiloval do sestričky, keď sa mu však vrátil zrak, zistil, že láska nie je slepá a uvedomil si, že bol zamilovaný len do jej hlasu. V roku 1941 sa vrátil do Británie, pretože ho bolesti hlavy  prinútili zavesiť kariéru pilota na klinec.

Roald Dahl začal písať po prevelení do Washingtonu. V roku 1953 sa v New Yorku oženil s herečkou Patriciou Nealovou, boli svoji 30 rokov a mali päť detí: Oliviu (zomrela v siedmich rokoch), Tessu, Thea, Opheliu a Lucy. Olivii neskôr venoval knihu Kamoš obor. S manželkou sa rozviedli v roku 1983, dôvodom bola o 22 rokov mladšia  Felicity d'Abreu Crosland,ktorú si po rozvode vzal.

Zomrel 23. novembra v roku 1990 na leukémiu vo svojom dome v Great Missendene, Buckinghamshire. Jeho vdova pokračovala v jeho neúnavnej charitatívnej činnosti prostredníctvom nadácie nesúcej jeho meno.
