Welcome to Great Missenden
A village nestled in the Chiltern Hills, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Welcome to a world of magic and imagination
Welcome to the village which was home to Roald Dahl for almost half of his life. It is here in a hut, where he wrote many of his most loved books.
Here you can find out little known facts about Roald Dahl from somebody who knew him, worked for him and spent time with him enjoying their common interests. For those fortunate enough to visit Great Missenden, how about a guided walk? If you are unable to do so, apply your imagination as you read the memoirs and gain a sense of understanding of Roald Dahl, what he might have been like, what inspired him and what unusual activities he pursued outside of his writing.
My Neighbour : Roald Dahl
A unique view of the master storyteller through the eyes of a much younger neighbour. Andrzej Potocki lived near Roald Dahl in Great Missenden, regularly meeting him over a period of 20 years. This book offers an unprecedented look at the characters of Dahl’s book and how they interweave with the places and people they both knew.
Read about some of the local residents who “appeared” as characters in Dahl’s wonderful tales.
