As a child I read "George's Marvellous Medicine" and its lighthearted condoning of murder left an impression on me.
- ptha 10y agoI'll have to re-read "George's Marvellous Medicine", that was my first Roald Dahl book. My dad bought it for me on a journey across the Irish Sea on a holiday trip. He bought my sister "The Magic Finger", which she finished quite quickly and was impatiently waiting for me to finish mine so she could read it. She was 2 years younger than me but reading at a level quite a bit older than me. I was reading at a age younger than I was (this is based on our school reports). "George's Marvellous Medicine" actually kickstarted my reading and love of books, so I'll always be very grateful for that.
