Felicity DahlMonday 20 August 2001
It's more than ten years since children's author, Roald Dahl died, but his work lives on.

Generations of children have savoured the delights of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and James and the Giant Peach.
Only last year he was voted most popular children's author on World Book Day and sales of his books have reached over 35 million in the UK alone.
Since his death, his widow, Felicity Dahl has worked tirelessly to keep his work alive for future generations. She has set up the Roald Dahl Foundation and their next project is to raise money for the Dahl Museum in his home village of Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire. Jo Morris went to meet her.
