Few recognize that Roald Dahl, author of "James and the Giant Peach", "Matilda", and "Charley and the Chocolate Factory", was writing Science Fiction.

As opposed to realistic fiction?
Maybe I’ll check “Matilda” out of the library. Some of the songs are very interesting.

I’m sorry, but I could never get into Roald Dahl’s works. I may watch “Charley And The Chocolate Factory” with Johnny Depp, but I was very disappointed in the version with whatshisname that was married to Gilda Radner. (How could I forget his name? I loved him in “Young Frankenstein!”)
