Alan Carr reads a letter from Roald Dahl about a cantankerous bulldog

When he wrote this letter to his mother, Roald Dahl was working at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. -- one of hundreds of undercover agents employed by Britain’s MI6 foreign intelligence service to spy on the United States. Dahl’s debut novel, The Gremlins, had been published the year before, and it would be another 17 years until his first children’s book, James and the Giant Peach, set on him on the path to becoming one of the most entertaining authors in history. What is clear from his countless letters home during World War II, however, is that Dahl had been honing his craft for some time. Alan Carr joined us at the Royal Albert Hall in 2021 to read this hilarious letter. © Roald Dahl, 8th Feburary 1944
