Roald Dahl Roald Dahl was born on September 13, 1916 in Llandaff, South Wales. In 1953, he published the best-selling story collection ''Someone Like You'' and married actress Patricia Neal. He published the popular book ''James and the Giant Peach'' in 1961. In 1964, he released another highly successful work, ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'', which was later adapted for two films. Over his long writing career, Dahl wrote 19 children's books. He died on November 23, 1990 in Oxford, England. He also wrote several television and movie scripts. Early Life Dahl's parents were Norwegian. As a child, he spent his summer vacations visiting with his grandparents in Oslo. When Dahl was 4 years old, his father died. The young Dahl received his earliest education at Llandaff Cathedral School. When the principal gave him a harsh beating for playing a practical joke, Dahl's mother decided to move her child at St
ringing. This celebration goes back to hundreds of years, to the Celtic times when it was a pagan festival. The Celts worshipped gods of nature. Every year on October 31, the last day of the year in the old pagan calendar, the Druids built huge bonfires to scare away the demons of evil and death. They dressed up so that the demons would think that they were one of them and do them no harm. They thought that this evening ghosts arose from their graves and witches flew through the air. From that Celtic festival comes the custom to dress up and the symbols of Halloween: ghosts, skeletons, devils, witches, owls and black cats. The jack-o'-lantern is also Celtic origin. The jack-o'-lantern is a pumpkin with a candle inside. The Irish people also introduced trick-or-treating. Many parents, children and schools plan Halloween parties. It's one of the favourite holidays. 8) SOME ENGLISH TRADITIONS In England, Shrove Tuesday is the day for pancakes

Witchcraft Witchcraft is the alleged use of supernatural or magical powers. A witch (from Old English wicca m. / wicce f.) is a practitioner of witchcraft.
