	ALAN Review - Fall 1998 Volume 26, Number 1
		Dahl's mother honored his father's wishes and sent their children to English schools, despite the fact that at that time English schools stressed corporal punishment, of which Dahl's mother did not approve (West).
		Dahl remembered those times as "days of horrors, of fierce discipline, of not talking in the dormitories, no running in the corridors, no untidiness of any sort, no this or that or the other, just rules, rules and still more rules that had to be obeyed.
		These young people found in Roald Dahl something that they could not find anywhere else: an author with a view of society that was essentially identical to their own--distrustful of authority figures and firm in the belief that good will triumph.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: A Critic At Large
		Dahl is also, however, a children’s writer whom many adults over the years have disliked or distrusted, though they have not always found it easy to say why.
		Dahl once said that adults should get down on their knees for a week, in order to remember what it’s like to live in a world in which the people with all the power literally loom over you.
		Dahl’s attunement to the aggressive labors of civilizing a child is no longer fashionable; it smacks of generational conflict, Oedipal struggles, and the grim days when children had to eat all the food on their plates, even if it was liver and onions.
