The BFG

Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and wartime fighter pilot. Born in Wales in 1916 to Norwegian immigrant parents, he became one of the world's most beloved children's authors. His writing is known for its wit, dark humour, and inventive characters, appealing to both children and adults.

Dahl's stories often feature children as the main characters, who face off against villainous or absurd adult adversaries. His works include classics like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Matilda," "The BFG," and "James and the Giant Peach." These stories, distinguished by their imaginative plots and Dahl's distinctive narrative voice, have become timeless favourites, captivating readers for generations.

Mel Giedroyc has lent her distinctive voice and lively storytelling style to narrate the audiobook version of Roald Dahl's classic children's book, "The BFG". This beloved story follows the adventures of a young girl named Sophie and her encounters with the Big Friendly Giant (BFG).

Mel's background in comedy and acting makes her an ideal narrator for this whimsical tale. Her ability to convey a wide range of emotions and create unique voices for each character brings the story to life, engaging listeners of all ages. Her narration captures the essence of Dahl's quirky characters and the magical world they inhabit, from the gentle, kind-hearted BFG to the fearsome giants he protects Sophie from.
