Told from the point of view of a young boy named Billy, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Metells the story of Billy's lifelong dream to own a candy store (which the British call a "sweet shop.") He almost constantly is reminded of this dream because of an abandoned building next to his home called the Grubber (an old term for a candy store). His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. The book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made, and published in 1943. Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach.I’m think you may have got our Agency confused as there is no Darren or Cariller Cray working here!
