Graun Roald Dahl quiz

I scored 9/10. I actually thought about the one I got wrong and had the feeling I was putting the wrong answer, the alternative being the right one.

It all comes from reading lots of this stuff to classes of children.

Hmm. 4.  Not really surprising.  Dahl never really appealed to me.

I was a big Dahl fan but I only scored 2 out of 10, and those two were educated/lucky guesses.

It's been a while since I read them.

Another 4. The most surprising thing was the Graun calls 4/10 a good try.

My younger daughter, another great Dahl fan, scored 9/10. On the strength of that phone conversation she is going to buy me tickets to Matilda for my birthday.
