Roald Dahl
“Never do anything by halves if you wanna get away with it.”
Roald Dahl, Matilda

Martin Latham
“I have found time and time again that people's childhood comfort book prefigures, to an almost comical degree which they cannot always see, their adult mission in life.”
Martin Latham, The Bookseller's Tale
