About Books   Harvard professor  Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre, Jacques Saunier, has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. Renowned curator Jacques Saunier staggered through the vaulted archway of the museum's Grand Gallery. He lunged for the nearest painting he could see, a Caravaggio.  Grabbing the gilded frame, the seventy-six-tear-old man heaved the masterpiece toward himself until it tore from the wall, and sauntered and collapsed backward in a heap beneath the canvas. As he had anticipated, a thundering iron gate fell nearby, barricading the entrance to the suite. the parquet floor shook. Far off, an alarm began to ring.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I am a huge fan of The BFG. I read a lot as a kid and this has become my favorite ever since I read the first chapter. I love all of Roald Dahl's  children's books , I just can't get myself to read any of the 'adult' stories he writes. Remembering our favorite Dahl character, we've come up with a list of everything we learned from The BFG. The BFG was published in 1982 and has been adapted for the big screen several times. This is the story of the young orphan Sophie and her unlikely friendship with the Big Friendly Giant. The story tells of their adventures and challenges in stopping mean giants from hunting human beans for food. I've taken a look at this amazing story to bring you the life lessons of The BFG and it shows why it's such an enjoyable story.
