I'd read somewhere that Dahl was an absolute sod. Reading this article about all the greed and unpleasantness in his stories was a little disturbing, given how many of them I read and loved as a child (though for me it wasn't James and the Giant Peach, more the BFG, The Twits and Danny Champion of the World). I remember being terrified by The Witches and having to tell my parents I didn't want to read it any more!
