Visit to the Birthplace of James and the Giant Peach
Hi, my name is Katie and I'm 8 years old. I recently went on a super fun trip to the birthplace of Roald Dahl, the famous author. It was in the city of Cardiff, which is in Wales, a country in the United Kingdom. The place where Roald Dahl was born is called Llandaff, a lovely little village near Cardiff.
- We visited the Roald Dahl Plass, a public plaza in Cardiff Bay dedicated to the author. It was so cool to see statues of characters from his books!
