More About Boy: Roald Dahl's Tales from Childhood

(2) YA Illustrated by Quentin Blake. Eight new vignettes and some additional apparatus constitute the "more" in this expanded edition of Dahl's memoir. In autobiography the author reveals the identical sensibility celebrated in his fiction; readers for whom this resonates will be delighted to have a bit more Dahl (although new sidenotes can be heavy-handed). Blake keeps the silliness quotient high with his energetic drawings.
