This ebook was originally in Microsoft Reader Format and since I thought it isn’t very convenient
toread books in that nasty program, I took my time to convert it to PDF format. Now, the 2nd Roald
Dahl book was finally posted on my website! I’m working hard to upload the second series of this book
– Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Although I haven’t read it yet, I’m sure it will be as interesting
as this one.
I regret to say that original photos (I’ve seen them in the book I hiredfrom the British Council
Library) cannot be put into this EBOOK because I don’t have a scanner. It will add more excitement to
this book if the pictures were present. You can look for the complete version of the book on Puffin
Books – it’s got numerous funny pictures and costs about 6 pounds according to the price label on the
back.
I hope you enjoyed reading this book. You can always look formore EBOOKS at my website if
you want something useful to read. I’ll try to add more and more books if the connection speed and
time allow me. Thank you.

ROALD DAHL
Roald Dahl was born in 1916 in Wales of Norwegian parents. He was educated in England
before starting work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. He began writing after a 'monumental
bash onthe head' sustained as an RAF fighter pilot during the Second World War. Roald Dahl is
one of the most successful and well-known of all children's writers. His books, which are read by
children the world over, include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,
The Magic Finger, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda, The Twits, The
BFG and TheWitches, winner of the 1983 Whitbread Award. Roald Dahl died in 1990 at the age of
seventy-four.
Roald Dahl found Charlie and the Chocolate Factory one of the most difficult books to
write. His first draft of the story included fifteen horrible children. His nephew Nicholas read it
and said it was rotten and boring, so Dahl realized he needed to rewrite it!
The idea for Charlie came from RoaldDahl’s schooldays, when he and other classmates
were occasionally asked by Cadbury’s to test newly invented chocolate bars. He used to dream of
inventing his own famous chocolate bar that would win the praise of Mr Cadbury himself.
This was Dahl’s motto that he lived by:

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light

How d'you do? And how d'you do? And how d'you do again? He ispleased to meet you.
The whole of this family — the six grown-ups (count them) and little Charlie Bucket — live
together in a small wooden house on the edge of a great town.
The house wasn't nearly large enough for so many people, and life was extremely
uncomfortable for them all. There were only two rooms in the place altogether, and there was only
one bed. The bed was given to the four old...
