Pilla's Reading Corner: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" - Roald Dahl
- by Daniel Pawlik
"The wisest people are delighted by a bit of nonsense from time to time." - Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
Today, a little nod to my colleague Daniel, who is a fan of the aforementioned writer's work.
A book I rediscovered for the second time during our last joint reading for school.
Of course, it's a novel for children/young adults, but the moral derived from it (and indeed, from all of this author's stories) makes it worth revisiting. You won't regret this decision for a moment.
The extraordinary factory, which mixes humor and the unique qualities of its characters, with their flaws and strengths, much like cocoa with additives creates chocolate, makes this journey a high-calorie adventure.
And since we've already dipped into a world full of nonsense, humor, morals, and chocolatey imagination, let's see now how other readers perceived this extraordinary story:
“
Great book! Although the beginning was a bit boring. But the rest was great. I loved reading it because I felt like I was in a magical land. I recommend it to everyone.

I couldn't put it down, unlike the movies. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a perfect introduction to fantasy for the youngest readers.
The part about how the Oompa Loompas ended up in the factory is a bit unsettling, but not enough for me to put the book down.

It was a very pleasant read. Easy-to-understand language and a hidden moral that needs to be discovered.

Nest of Tables – What Are They, Who Are They For and How to Style Them
Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair? Three little tables, each tucked neatly under the next, were pulled apart and handed round – one for the teapot, one for the biscuit tin and one for Grandad's crossword – and then slid back together the moment everyone went home.

Do you remember the bookcase in your grandparents' front room?

It was never styled for anyone – and yet it told the whole story of the family.
