Campaign to save Dahl’s magic hut

THE simple hut in which Roald Dahl weaved his magical tales to captivate millions of readers is to be preserved for his fans worldwide.

His family is aiming to raise £500,000 (€576,000) to move the atmospheric interior of the building, piece by piece, to stop the decay which has left it in imminent danger of falling apart.

They have launched a fundraising campaign yesterday to enable them to move the hut — built more than half a century ago — to the Roald Dahl Museum for public display.
