Hey /lit/, what do you think of Roald Dahl? He is my huge idol and I absolutely love his short stories. I write short stories as well and I get amazing ideas when reading his work. What about you?

I enjoyed his children's fiction a great deal as a child and still have respect for it but his adult writing I thought was just ok, they're entertaining but they never stuck with me as anything great
The only Roald Dahl books I especially remember reading as a child are Danny the champion of the world and boy, which I had to study in school, but I remember liking them a great deal.
Roald Dahl and Shel Silverstein are patrician-tier children's authors tbdesu

Good at writing short fiction, even better at writing children's fiction. Unfortunately, his adult fiction isn't nearly as well-known.
