Every time Mr Fox steals a chicken to feed his hungry family, Boggis, Bunce and Bean go wild with rage! These nasty, greedy farmers rule the whole valley, and have no kindness to spare for anyone.

But is our crafty hero Mr Fox scared of these big bullies? No! He has his own fantastic plan…

  • Mr Fox is one of Dahl’s most charismatic heroes
  • His flamboyant adventures are a laugh a minute
  • Quentin Blake’s artwork brings him to vivid life
  • An inspiring treat for confident younger readers

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was born in Llandaff, South Wales on September 13th 1916. His parents were Norwegian, and were called Harald and Sofie. He went to Repton school, in Derbyshire, and left school in 1933.

His first job was in Africa, with the Shell Oil Company. In the second world war he fought as a fighter pilot, and was badly injured when his plane crashed. After the war he worked in America, and soon started writing stories.

His very first children’s book, written in 1943 was called The Gremlins. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of the President of the USA liked it so much he was invited to the White House and became friends with the President, Franklin D Roosevelt.

He wrote a number of books and short stories for adults, many of which were televised as the hugely popular Tales of the Unexpected.

But it was as a children’s author that he found greatest fame and satisfaction, saying “I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers…Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful.” Millions of fans around the world agreed and have chuckled and gasped at his amazing stories. His mesmerising stories, written in sizzling, sparkly language, will lead you into adventures you’ll never ever forget!

From 1945 until his death, he lived at Gipsy House, in Buckinghamshire, where he wrote his famous children’s books. He died in hospital in Oxford, on November 23rd, 1990. His books have continued to be read and loved, and have been made into a number of hit films, including Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You can even visit the Roald Dahl Museum in the village where Dahl lived for most of his life.

In 2009 the Roald Dahl Funny Prize was established in his memory.

    I loved this book! I liked when I found out what the three naughty farmers looked like. I liked the fat one the best, his name is Boggis there was Bunce and Bean too. I found the little foxes cute. My favourite bit was when fantastic Mr fox found all the starving animals and led them to a feast at his house.
