My favourite book
My favourite book is Anne of Green Gables. I’d get to the end of book eight and start again, with plucky red-headed orphan Anne Shirley waiting at a train station for her new life to begin. She taught me things I still think about every day.
What is your favourite book and why?
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
My favourite character is Wonka who is a chocolatier, and one of Dahl’s most famous characters. Wonka is exceedingly eccentric, with many odd qualities. Wonka confuses most of the people who meet him, but Charlie is fascinated. Wonka loves nonsense and mischief, but can’t abide ugliness. Wonka is described as full of life. In the book, Wonka has a goatee and bright, mischievous eyes. Wonka is fantastically bizarre, and remembered as one of Dahl’s most famous characters. He is also well travelled, having been to space. Wonka also visited Loompa Land, which was where he met the mysterious Oompa Loompas. Who is your favourite character?
