Dahl&#8217;s short stories are known for their unexpected endings and his children&#8217;s books for their unsentimental, often very\u00a0dark humor.<\/p>\n<p>Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children&#8217;s stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda. Many of his titles have become successful, blockbuster movies.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile enjoy a scene from Matilda, a movie adapted from his award-winning book of the same name.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MATILDA Tv blowup\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l0g2KRfbSkY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The theme for this week is about Roald Dahl, a\u00a0British\u00a0novelist,\u00a0short &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1699,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[731],"tags":[462,182,1226,461,1658,442,325],"class_list":["post-1697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-whichbookwouldyouread-bookoftheweek-themes-themeoftheweek-quotes-inspirationalquotes","tag-charlie-and-the-chocolate-factory","tag-english-book-in-georgia","tag-interesting-people","tag-matilda","tag-october-2014","tag-roald-dahl","tag-theme-of-the-week","cat_731"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1697"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1701,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1697\/revisions\/1701"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
