Pictures: Inside author Roald Dahl's writing hut
- Published
This small little hut in Buckinghamshire is where Roald Dahl wrote many of his famous stories, including Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Leah poses with Roald's armchair - he didn't like writing at a desk because he hurt his back while fighting during World War II.
Roald couldn't type and he always used a pencil to write his stories.
His typical day started at 9:30am when he'd go through his fanmail and then he'd write from about 10:30am to midday. After lunch and an afternoon read, he'd do a couple more hours' writing from around 4pm.

This photo shows Roald Dahl writing in his hut around 1990 - the year he died. The hut hasn't been touched since.
A campaign's been launched to save the crumbling hut and the many strange mementoes inside it - including one of Roald's hip bones that was removed!
Another weird object is this big ball made from old chocolate wrappers that Roald ate as a kid - he must've loved his chocs!
