Weekly Words

Weekly Words  is my blog where I post small illustrations as often as I can.  Since I draw inspiration from reading and am writing fiction of my own, I include a quote with each illustration from either an already loved and published author, or if I dare, a piece of my own writing...

The Human Bean

“Do you like vegetables?" Sophie asked, hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous kind of food.
"You is trying to change the subject," the Giant said sternly. "We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable.”
― Roald Dahl, The BFG


The BFG was one of my favorite books I read as a kid. There's a lot to know about this author. He was a fighter pilot for the Royal Air Force in WWII. I read about him here:

***
'In addition to James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Dahl's most popular kids' books include Fantastic Fox (1970), The Witches (1983) and Matilda (1988)'

'Dahl told New York Times book reviewer Willa Petschek, "As I went on the stories became less and less realistic and more fantastic." He went on to describe his foray into writing as a "pure fluke," saying, "Without being asked to, I doubt if I'd ever have thought to do it."'

ALSO, I am excited to discover this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ0Bey4YUGI
