They were all penned by Roald Dahl.
Schools across Cambridgeshire have been taking part in celebrations to mark the much loved author’s centenary this week.

Born on September 13, 1916, in Wales to Norwegian parents, Dahl became a fighter pilot, novelist, poet and screenwriter, selling over 250 million copies across the globe.
As well as writing popular kids’ fiction, including Matilda, The Witches, The Twits and The BFG, he also penned dark adult fiction, including Tales of the Unexpected.
Many of his stories were illustrated by Quentin Blake, including his hilarious collection of Revolting Rhymes – a poetic twist on classic children’s fairytales.
