A. About Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Llandaff, South Wales, educated at Repton School in
England. Dahl's parents were Norwegian. He was a British novelist, short-story writer, poet,
screenwriter, a spy, a chocolate historian, a medical inventor and wartime fighter pilot. He has
been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". He rose to
prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for children and for adults, and he became one of
the world's best-selling authors. Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and
his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring
villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted and feature
an underlying warm sentiment.
His first major success as a writer for children was in 1964. His fabulously popular children's
books are read by children all over the world. Some of his better-known works include James
and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda, The
Witches, and The BFG. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide. He was
buried in St. Peter and St. Paul's parish church in Great Missenden - the Buckinghamshire
village.

B. Synopsis
Nobody has seen Willy Wonka - or inside his amazing chocolate factory - for years. When he
announces plans to invite the winners of five Golden Tickets hidden inside the wrappers of
chocolate bars to visit his factory, the whole world is after those tickets! Five children who have
found golden tickets are Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee and
Charlie Bucket. Whereas they are grateful toward and respectful of Mr. Wonka and his factory,
the other four children succumb to their own character flaws. Augustus Gloop falls into the hot
chocolate river—while attempting to drink it—and is sucked up by one of the many pipes. Veruca
Salt is determined to be a “bad nut” by nut-judging squirrels who throw her out with the trash.
Violet Beauregarde impetuously grabs an experimental piece of gum and chews herself into a
giant blueberry. With the hope of being on his beloved television, Mike Teavee shrinks himself,
and his father has to carry him out in his breast pocket. So Charlie is the only one that is left in
the factory. Then Mr. Wonka decides that Charlie is the one will run the factory exactly the way
he has always run it.
