Скачать или смотреть Roald Dahl's Bonkersly Brilliant Book Blurb - Matilda - The BFG - Roald Dahl Day

To celebrate Roald Dahl Day, children's author, Mark Dorey, looks at Roald Dahl's Bonkersly Brilliant Book Blurbs used on three of Roald Dahl's most famous books: Matilda, The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant) and George's Marvellous Medicine.

If the cover is the shop window for a book, the blurb (the writing on the back cover) is the window dressing, designed to draw the reader into the story! Mark looks at the importance of the blurb, including how they are uniquely written and designed for each of Roald Dahl's books. Finally, Mark looks at the blurb of one of his own books: The Mystery of the Un-Snowy Mountain and the Great Deep Sleep Miscalculation specially designed to draw his readers in and to keep them reading on!

The Mystery of the Un-Snowy Mountain and the Great Deep Sleep Miscalculation is available from https://tomsercat.com, where Mark will personally dedicate all of his books at no extra cost :-)
