Happy Roald Dahl Day Human Beans!
Today is a day we look forward to every year without fail, as it gives us the perfect excuse to shout about one of our all-time favourite authors, Roald Dahl.
And today marks 100 years of the wonderful man himself. What better way to celebrate than with an opportunity to win a phizz-whizzing prize?
We’re on a mission to find out which Roald Dahl character is loved the most by our World of Books customers, so tell us who your favourite is and why – for your chance to win two tickets to the matinee performance Matilda the Musical on 3rd December 2016.
You can tell us who your favourite character is and why in any of the following ways:
- Head over to our Facebook page and comment on our wall – or our competition post.
- Tell us on Twitter but be sure to include @worldofbooksltd
- Comment on the blog post below
- Email us your entry at [email protected]
Good luck to you all! We look forward to reading your gloriumptious entries.
Please only enter if you’re able to attend on that day as tickets are not transferable. Also make sure you have a read of the fine print below.
