Answer 1

Roald Dahl's parents were originally from Norway, which influenced some of his writing. He was born in Wales, but his Norwegian heritage is reflected in his works.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parents of the famous British novelist and short-story writer Roald Dahl were both originally from Norway.

Roald Dahl himself was born in Wales, but his father, Harald Dahl, and mother, Sofie Magdalene Hesselberg, were Norwegian. This Scandinavian heritage influenced some of Dahl's writings, with Norway being mentioned in works such as The Witches and other autobiographical pieces.
