ROALD DAHL TREASURY - Introduction","","An introduction addressed to younger readers opens with a direct, humorous warning for adults to leave, then invites non-adults to continue through extreme “mischief and mayhem.” It positions Roald Dahl as one of the world’s best storytellers, adds a brief biographical sketch—born in Wales, educated in England, sent to boarding school, later serving in World War II and working as a writer—and highlights recurring themes of funny heroes, fearsome villains, dark humor, and playful, unsettling
