First and foremost… I AM NOT ROALD DAHL!
My name is Kris Howard. I grew up in rural Indiana in the United States, but now I live in Sydney, Australia with my husband. Roald Dahl became my favourite author when Mrs. Jordan read The BFG to my 3rd-grade class, and I’ve now read just about everything he ever wrote. I got the idea for this site many years ago in university in 1996 when I did a web search for “Roald Dahl” and found about 3 measly pages. I knew that I could offer information and resources on Dahl that no one else could, and I was interested in web designing and publishing. Pretty soon I had my site up and running.
I was very fortunate to visit Aylesbury in May 2000 and meet Felicity Dahl, who was absolutely lovely. I also got to see Gipsy House and go inside the writing shed, which (for me) represented the pinnacle of everything Dahl.
If you’d like to know a little bit more about me, check out my weblog or drop me a line. I love meeting fellow Dahl fans!
