From adventures in Africa to dangerous wartime missions in the air, Dahl recounts his experiences with the humour, energy and storytelling style that made his fiction famous.

Exciting, funny and based on real events, Going Solo is ideal for young readers interested in adventure, history, aviation and the remarkable life of Roald Dahl.
