I must call upon my eight year old self, don't worry readers she will not be busy, more than likely sitting in a corner reading a book and giggling away to herself. So, when it comes to the magnificent work of Roald Dahl, I just need to ask, what did his stories truly mean to me?<a href="http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2016/08/dahls-willy.html" rel="nofollow">Dahl’s Willy</a>Justin L.

In my book, 'The Woppapotamus from Titan', I have used many nonsense words, which I have deceived my brain into believing to be real! Take the leader of Titan, The Proppapotamus, given the need to<br />explore Earth, using one of their inventions - a PBT (Proppaboxatrix), find an amazing illustrator (Paul Morton) to draw it for you and you have a device for making you smaller, larger, reversing and forwarding time and giving loadsa fun to children from 6 and upwards. A lovely quote from Willie Wonka - 'a little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men'. It might even enrich the life of non-believer Richard Dawkins!
