Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl

5.0

I just read this to Gabriel over the last few weeks. I still love it and Gabriel did too. It was so fun to share the story with him and to hear his reflections about it. Now he wants to read the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) because in Danny the Champion of the World Danny's dad tells him stories about the BFG. Roald Dahl was doing crossover marketing before everyone else. =)

This is my favorite Roald Dahl book. As a kid the story was just exciting. But, now I realize that, even as a kid, I was drawn to anti-Bourgeoisie sentiment.

Beautifully written.
Terribly sad.
Jane Smiley gets it.

I can't overemphasize the importance of this book in helping with socio-emotional and spiritual growth. It's beautiful, informative and accurate in its mapping of the human soul. I'd recommend for anyone interested in the Enneagram or personal growth, to read this one first.
