Roald Dahl postage stamps

Roald Dahl was all the rage when I was in elementary school, so you can imagine my happiness when I came across these awesome special-edition stamps by illustrator Quentin Blake. Don’t they make you want to jump into Dahl’s magical world right now, friends? What was your favorite Dahl book? xoxo

    Oh man, I have always loved Roald Dahl – I read all of his books! My favorite, hands down, was The BFG. Followed by Matilda of course!! 🙂

    I would love to collect them. They would also make a great gift for someone who collects illustrations or stamps!

    Oh my word! These are swoon-worthy! My favourite books by him would have to be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Classics!

    These are great! I loved his books – Charlie was my favourite – I would have loved these stamps for my stamp collection as a kid too.

    They'd be great displayed in a kids room. My favorite art is when people use pages from their favorite book.

    Matilda, hands down! Her family was so disfunctional, it was somewhat comforting/made for a good read. My future daughter will be reading that, God willing.

    Ooooh I best not let my dad see these..He will be wanting some!!! My favourite Roald Dahl's were The BFG and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. I love watching the classic Charlie and The Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. I'm not keen on Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka! xox
