Letter revealing Roald Dahl s secrets to good storytelling to go under hammer

A handwritten letter by children’s author Roald Dahl which reveals his secrets to good storytelling is set to go on sale at auction. The letter, dated August 2 1989, showcases the writer’s opinion of his own work and his determination to get children reading. Librarian Christine Wotton said she wrote to Mr Dahl “speculatively” as a 20-year-old student as she was studying for a degree in literature and linguistics in the late 1980s. The item has been handed a guide price of £500-800 by Derbyshire-based Hansons Auctioneers. The letter, from August 1989, reveals the author’s opinion of his own work (Hansons Auctioneers/PA)
