Boy by Roald Dahl, Tales of Childhood

Dear Class 621,
Welcome to an exciting new year. I am very happy to be your teacher. I am very impressed by your behavior and dedication. I am sure that together we are going to have a terrific year and what better way to begin than starting reading and studying Roald Dahl delightful memoir Boy. In this book, we are going to read a journey from childhood to manhood. All this with the magic that the author creates with his words. We are going  to laugh with him, share his pains and sorrows, and travel to wonderful places and all this without leaving our classroom.Let's begin our adventure and star reading. As Roald Dahl says of all these events: "Some are funny. Some are funny. Some are painful. Some are unpleasant. I suppose that is why I have always remembered them so vividly. All are true."
