Roald Dahl Roald Dahl is a best-selling children’s author of classic books including Charlie and Chocolate

Factory, James and the Giant Peach, The BFG and many more. Roald Dahl was a famous

short story writer who became one of the most successful and beloved children's writers of all

time. He also wrote several screenplays. Born on September 13, in Wales to parents of Norwe-

gian descent, he attended British schools, but never went to university, opting to go work for

the Shell Oil Company instead. He worked there for a few years, but when World War II start-

after the war became his life-long vocation. He wrote two novels, two autobiographies, nine-

Library Update - Sept. 2013

One fateful day several years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared off the secluded island owned and in-habited by the powerful Vanger family. There was no corpse, no witnesses and no evidence.

Nearly forty years later, investigative journalist Mi-kael Blomkvist reluctantly accepts the unusual and seemingly unsolvable assignment of finding out what really happened to Harriet.

Genius hacker, Lisbeth Salander “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is drawn into the case and the two form a fragile alliance as they dig into the sinister past of the Vangers and find out just how far they’re prepared to go to protect themselves – and each oth-er.

Reviews 'Intelligent, complex, with a gripping plot and deeply

intriguing characters. The author's early death is a

great loss'

Philip Pullman, Guardian

'As vivid as bloodstains on snow

Lee Child

'The books are selling in their millions across Eu-

rope and it's not hard to see why

Spectator

'The ballyhoo is fully justified ... the novel scores on

every front
