A Unique Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary - Released

Oxford University Press is releasing “Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary” to celebrate writer's 100th birthday this September.

The dictionary took Susan Rennie five years to finish and contains nearly 8,000 entries.

"[Dahl] didn't always explain what his words meant, but children can work them out because they often sound like a word they know, and he loved using onomatopoeia," said Rennie in an interview with BBC.
