This book is a definitive biography of James Brown, an extraordinary & controversial superstar, that encompasses his entire life until his death on Christmas Day 2006. For decades, James Brown dominated the changing face of post-war popular black music.

The fabulous second instalment of the Rachel Riley series. My quest to find THE ONE starts right now! This year I will utterly not snog random posh boys with congenital acne but will save myself for long-haired creative type with interest in tragicness & with musical potential i.e. Justin Statham. Though am not sure Justin has realized yet that I am THE ONE for him. Maybe he has heard I am rubbish at snogging. I need to learn to snog properly
- & fast. Though perhaps I am just generally unlovable. As well as tongue technique issues I have hopelessly untragic relatives & a dog who eats furniture. Plus I am practically a medical midget & my hair is mental. Maybe I should just give up on boys altogether... Not suitable for younger readers.

The authorised biography of one of the greatest storytellers of all time, written with complete access to the archives stored in the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre. Roald Dahl is one of the greatest storytellers of all time. He pushed children's literature into uncharted territory & almost twenty years after his death his popularity continues to grow ? worldwide sales of his books have now topped 100 million. The man behind the stories, however, remains an enigma. Dahl was a single-minded adventurer, an eternal child, & his public persona was often controversial. To his readers, though, Dahl was always a hero & his stories have had an impact on the lives & imaginations of generations of children. Since his death his reputation has been transformed. Critics too now celebrate his wild imagination, quirky humour & linguistic elegance; figures like Willy Wonka, the BFG & the Grand High Witch are immortal literary creations. In this masterly biography, Donald Sturrock reveals many hitherto hidden aspects of Roald Dahl's life: his terrifying experiences as a fighter pilot; the mental anguish caused by the death of his seven-year-old daughter; his work for military intelligence at the end of the war & more. Written with exclusive access to his private papers & manuscripts as well as with reference to hundreds of newly-discovered letters, Dahl lives on every page of this utterly compelling book, which reveals the man as we've never seen him before. ...
