Magic mirror on the wall, who is the most rotten one of al...
In this lesson, we will delve into the life of a man who held some troubling beliefs about women.
As we peel back the layers of his story, we'll uncover some shocking truths about his treatment of his family.

We all know the work of Roald Dahl
He gave the world characters like Willy Wonka and, my personal favorite, Matilda. But from the same mind came child killing witches and, more notoriously, Trunchbull. His writings are often accompanied with sadness suffering, and often paint women in an unflattering light, aside from Miss Honey.
