Roald Dahl's original sketches to be auctioned
Original Roald Dahl sketches from his memoir "Boy" to be auctioned in Edinburgh. Created in black ballpoint pen, these rare illustrations are part of a collection estimated to sell for £20,000-£30,000. Dahl's sketches were found in an envelope marked "Dahl's drawings & odds and sods" that belonged to Ian Craig, who was the art director at publishing house Jonathan Cape and played a key role in Dahl's publishing success. This unique archive sheds light on the creative process behind the beloved author's childhood memories.
