Biography; Autobiography: literary

Roald Dahl's Going Solo is the marvellous account of his life as a young man. He describes getting his first job in Africa and his wartime exploits as an RAF fighter pilot, where he was shot down in the Libyan desert. Continuing the story he began in Boy, the first part of his memoir, the master storyteller conjures up a real-life world as magical and unnerving as any he writes about in his fiction.

Reviews for Going Solo: Popular Penguins

'A story like a marvellous pebble, wet from the sea, strange and comic like all things out of step with time, sad as the old songs the women sang, splendidly told...' Sunday Times 'A fascinating book...Charles Maclean is an excellent writer...he describes the story of St Kilda with powerful compassion.' Magnus Magnusson 'What the St Kildan story, as told by Maclean, did for me was to reawaken my awe at the strangeness of our world.' Will Self
