The Human Bean

Description

“Do you like vegetables?" Sophie asked, hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous kind of food.
"You is trying to change the subject," the Giant said sternly. "We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable.”
― Roald Dahl, The BFG

The BFG was one of my favorite books I read as a kid. There's a lot to know about this author. He was a fighter pilot for the Royal Air Force in WWII. I read about him here: www.biography.com/people/roald-dahl-9264648#early-writing-career

'In addition to James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Dahl's most popular kids' books include Fantastic Fox (1970), The Witches (1983) and Matilda (1988)'

'Dahl told New York Times book reviewer Willa Petschek, "As I went on the stories became less and less realistic and more fantastic." He went on to describe his foray into writing as a "pure fluke," saying, "Without being asked to, I doubt if I'd ever have thought to do it." '

Oh yes, I am so looking forward to the movie coming out! Two more months! I love how you drew the snozzcumber and Sophie. I created a group called the BFG-Fans and I'm also writing a fanfic story too!

Keep up with the good work!
