Roald Dahl Centenary Day
September 13th is 100 years since Roald Dahl was born in Wales.
As he was the biggest selling children's author in our Leeds Bookshop, from 1987 to the end of the 20th Century (until JKR took our top spot!) he helped to make the 1st Bookshop that successful online business it is for us today. So we are therefore proud to honour him on this our 21st Century Blog!
