Anyone who wants to know how to write (and not just childrens books) should read Roald Dahl. Repeatedly. Being a James, I loved James and the Giant Peach as a kid.
And now Tim Burton's remade Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Do I dare go and see what they've done to my childhood?
The Classics!
