ROALD DAHL – MADNESS
DIGGING DEEPER
A BEFORE READING THE BOOK
1 EXPECTATIONS
1 Roald Dahl is famous all over the world for his children’s stories. Look up the children’s stories and
books he wrote online.
a Did you read any of his stories as a child or have you ever seen any films based on his stories?
Yes, I’ve read some of his story’s when I was a child.
b What did you think of the stories you read/saw as a child?
I didn’t really like them because i liked detective stories from an early age, and the story’s I’ve read
weren’t exiting at al.
'Roald Dahl is best known for his mischievous, wildly inventive stories for children. But
throughout his life, he was also a prolific and acclaimed writer of stories for adults. These
sinister, surprising tales continue to entertain, amuse and shock generations of readers even
today.' (Madness, opening page)
2 Roald Dahl also wrote stories for adults (see quotation above). These stories are very different from
his children’s stories.
a What should you expect from Roald Dahl’s stories for adults? Read the quotation above and write
down the words that describe these stories.
Amusing and shocking
b Read the blurb on the back cover of Madness. Does this book spark your interest? Why (not)?
Not really, it doesn't appeal to me. It reads weird. I wouldn’t have chosen this book myself.
3 Based on the answers you’ve given above, what do you expect from reading Madness? What do
you expect to like and/or dislike? Explain your answers.
I think it will be a weird story, and I think there will be a lot of crazy people in the stories.
