      I did not even know who Patricia was before writing this post :) First time I hear about her.
      There was also a Vita and Virginia BBC 2 mini series a few years ago, or was it a documentary? I don't know, I came upon photos from it while researching for this article.

    It will be nice to see a movie about Dahl. He was one of my favorite childhood authors.
