Matilda: Katherine Rundell has written a foreword for a new edition of Matilda.will, in part because Roald Dahl understood that, above all else, children can’t stand being talked down to. They bristle at being lectured, rebel at being offered a moral when they have gone hunting for an adventure. Dahl refused to do that: instead, his eyes looked round the corner of the normal into the deeply peculiar.
It’s possible that, like Roald Dahl, she is a writer of stories that ignite the imaginations of children across the world. Or she might very possibly be an astronaut, or a prime minister. But, now that Matilda is in her 30s, I think she would be even more enormously in love with the world than she was as a girl: and so, faced with the dangers of global warming and mass extinction, she would want to protect it. I think she would be developing a way to harness the weather to create energy.

Totally normal.
