    Mini Biography Example Text
    Roald Dahl

    Roald Dahl was born on 13 September 1916, in Llandaff, Cardiff. His parents were
    Norwegian.

    He did not start writing for children until he had children of his own. His first-ever children’s
    book published was in 1943 entitled ‘The Gremlins’. It is said that Dahl was never very fond
    of this book.

    Roald Dahl LOVED chocolate, but not chocolate cake or ice cream! Maybe this is why he
    chose to write about Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

    He always wrote his stories in pencil on yellow paper. He would write in a small hut in his
    garden.

    Before becoming a beloved children’s author, Dahl was a hurricane fighter pilot and spy
    during World War II.

    Roald Dahl died At the age of 74 on the 23rd of November 1990. He is buried in St Peter and
    Paul’s Church in Great Missenden, England.
