enchantedengland:    British writer Roald Dahl’s writing shed. Roald Dahl (1916-1990) rose to prominence in the 1940’s as a writer of children’s fiction; previously he had been a flying ace in the Royal Air Force during WWII. Notable books include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Fantastic Mr. Fox.    Dahl, who was born to Norwegian parents in Cardiff, was buried “with his snooker (pool) cues, some very good burgundy, a box of chocolates, pencils, and a power saw.” Awesome.    (image originally found on marygracelipscomb.tumblr.com; researched credit to anglotopia.net)
