"It's hard to find the right word to express our levels of excitement around the 'Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary.' Squacking? Jumpsquiffling? Gigantuous? Roald Dahl's inventive, playful use of language is such a key element of his writing, whether he was using existing words in his own mischievous way or inventing extra-usual new ones. It is wonderful to have this dictionary compiled with such expertise, passion and wit by Dr. Susan Rennie and the team at OUP. There could be no more fitting way to pay tribute to Roald Dahl in the year of celebrations for his centenary. Best of all, as a fully-functioning dictionary for readers and writers aged eight and above, I hope it serves as a swashboggling source of inspiration for a whole new generation of storytellers." -- Luke Kelly, Managing Director of the Roald Dahl LIterary Estate and Roald Dahl's grandson, "It's hard to find the right word to express our levels of excitement around the Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary.

Bonus points if you like to gobblefunk." --The Horn Book "For children who devour the stories of Roald Dahl, and for parents who dearly wish to encourage their children's interest in words and reading, comes a spliffling, gloriumptious, whoopsey-splunkers compilation of the vocabulary (both real and confected) that the great Dahl used in 'The BFG,' 'Matilda' and other books. Sprinkled with Quentin Blake's witty, ebullient illustrations, 'The Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary' is cleverly organized by Susan Rennie to work partly as a word guide and partly as a spur to gobblefunk with words (without erroneously biffsquiggling, of course) like the master himself." --The Wall Street Journal "The best dictionary for children this year." --New York Journal of Books, "It's hard to find the right word to express our levels of excitement around the 'Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary.'
