Roald Dahl’s father died when Roald was only three so his mother brought up him and his sisters on her own.
Every Easter she rented a house in Tenby, Wales, and took all the children there for a holiday.
The house, called The Cabin, was right next to the sea. When the tide was in, the waves broke right up against one wall of the house. Roald and his sisters used to collect winkles and eat them on slices of bread and butter.
