Book Covers

Boy: Tales of Childhood is an autobiographical book by British writer Roald Dahl which was published in 1984. Roald Dahl is the writer of The BFG, James and the Giant Peach and Matilda. When making this trio of covers for Dahl’s personal childhood story I focused mainly on the book’s major themes of mischief and youth identity; how his tumultuous times in British schools as a young boy led him to writing later in life, including a particularly important incident in a candy shop which later influenced his most famous story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
