Boy, Roald Dahl.
When I was younger, I read many of Roald Dahls books. His memoir is written in the style of most of his books, meaning that they are easy to read and with his same quaint, English way of wording things. Even when Roald Dahl is telling the history of his family, as in where his mother and father came from, there is a interesting, almost playful tone that comes across when you are reading. One can tell that he got many of his story ideas from his childhood. He went to the candy shop after school many days, and he and his friends would make up stories about the origins of the candy. They made up a story about the candy being made out of rats' blood. So Roald Dahl puts a mouse into one of the jars of candy. Other mischeivious events like this show where Roald Dahl gets his inspiration.
