‘Matilda’ was originally written by Roald Dahl who is a British novelist, and this book was launched in 1996 back then. As a warning, this contains lots of cartoonish violence and torture by a bullying school principal. Well, probably that’s what made Matilda a girl who has lots of vivid imagination and courage to face up the situation she is having.
