Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl is a beloved children’s novel that tells the story of a young boy named Danny and his adventurous father. Set in a small English village, the book follows Danny as he discovers his father's secret passion for poaching and their daring plans to outwit the local rich man who wants to catch them. Through clever schemes and heartwarming moments, the story celebrates bravery, ingenuity, and the special bond between father and son.
Danny’s life seems perfect: his home is a gypsy caravan, he’s the youngest car mechanic around, and his best friend is his dad, who never runs out of wonderful stories to tell. And when Danny discovers his father’s secret, he’s off on the adventure of a lifetime. Here’s Roald Dahl’s famous story about a 9-year-old boy, his dad, and a daring and hilarious pheasant-snatching expedition. Just as important, it’s the story of the love between a boy and his father who, in Danny’s own words, is “the most marvelous and exciting father a boy ever had.”
