Harald Dahl and Sophie Magdalene Dahl are Norwegian. The Dahl family moved from Norway to Cardiff in 1880. Roald was named after Roald Ya Meng Sen, a Norwegian national hero at that time. He speaks Norwegian with his parents and sisters at home. Dahl and his sister baptized and named the Norwegian Sailor Church in Cardiff, where their parents attended the church.

1920, when Roald was 3 years old, his 7-year-old sister astrid died of appendicitis. About a month later, his father died of pneumonia at the age of 57. Although his mother could choose to go back to Norway to live with relatives, she decided to stay in England, because Roald's father always wanted his children to receive education in England, which he thought was the best.

Roald first studied in the Catholic Randolph Cathedral. When he was eight years old, he and four friends put a dead mouse in the candy jar of Mrs. Pratchett's "stingy and annoying" shop, and the principal gave them a good beating.

So Roald was transferred to a boarding school, but he was unhappy there. He is so homesick that he writes home almost every day, but he never reveals his unhappiness in his letters.

In the important period of his early years, he had his own small desk. He is very tall, adult height 1.98 meters. He is good at sports, so he became the captain of the school squash and squash team and a member of the school football team, which made him very popular. At that time, he gradually became fond of photography. During his stay in this school, the chocolate factory Cadbury Food Company occasionally sent new chocolate products to his school to let the students taste the taste of Roald Dahl Road.

Dahl often wanted to invent some new chocolates himself, hoping to get the praise of Cadbury Food Company, which also inspired him to write his third book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

In his childhood and adolescence, he would return to his parents' home country Norway in summer vacation, and most of the time he would enjoy the coastal fjords. His autobiographical work Boy: The Story of Childhood is mainly about that childhood.
