Roald Dahl stamps
The much-loved children’s author Roald Dahl has been honoured with his own set of postage stamps. Quentin Blake’s famous illustrations of characters like James, Charlie Bucket, Matilda and Fantastic Mr Fox will appear on a new series of stamps issued by The Royal Mail.
Roald Dahl’s daughter, Ophelia Dahl, said her father would be thrilled.
“My dad wrote thousands of letters home throughout his life and never dreamed that one day one of his own characters would grace a stamp. This is an excellent way for us to kick off a year of celebrations to mark 30 years in print for The BFG.”
