My Year Walk – October – Spooky Special

Immerse yourself in autumn, cartwheel through the fields, ramble through woods and listen to extracts from Roald Dahl’s My Year and other stories in the woods and fields that inspired the books.

This month we’ll be reading extracts from the October chapter of My Year, Roald Dahl’s last book. You’ll learn about Roald Dahl’s take on the changing seasons, with a few spooky extracts thrown in. You’ll hear spooky stories under the railway bridge where Roald told stories to his children, and in the atmospheric woods where he set Danny the Champion of the World. But don’t fall behind, the Gruncher might get you!

“Beware, beware the Forest of Sin! None come out, but many go in…”
