Considered one of the greatest children’s storyteller’s of all time, Roald Dahl began his life quietly in South Wales. After Boarding School and looking for his own adventure, he began working in Africa for Shell Oil. At the outbreak of World War II, Dahl became a fighter pilot for the RAF (Royal Air Force) where he endured severe injuries as a result of a crash. Following a long recovery, he was assigned to Washington, D.C. to serve in the British Embassy. A chance meeting with British novelist, C.S. Forrester, encouraged Dahl to write the tales of his Africa adventures. He did and the writing career of Roald Dahl began in earnest. After some success with articles, novellas, and short stories, Dahl tried his hand at children’s stories beginning with James and the Giant Peach’s publication in 1960. James was followed by a train of wonderful and inventive children’s stories loved by readers around the world.
Today, fans of Roald Dahl can see their favorite stories come to life in designer bedding from the Roald Dahl Bedding Collection which features the beloved Dahl characters marvelously illustrated by Quinton Blake. Each set is made with the highest quality craftsmanship and care and include a duvet cover and two coordinating pillowcases made of cozy and soft 100 percent cotton and available in single and double sizes.
Let’s explore the offerings available from among the Roald Dahl Bedding Sets starting at the beginning with the story that began it all James and the Giant Peach. “Come right up close to me and I will show you something wonderful” in this fantastic bedding set featuring the Giant Peach, James, and all his pal shining brightly in vivid orange and white among a large gathering of peaches. Next up is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – delivering the delightfully sweet filled world of Willie Wonka, Charlie, Grandpa Joe and of course the Chocolate Factory. This set features all the scrumdeliumptious gobstoppers, Wonka bars and more in whimsical blues and purples. With this set in the bedroom, you can almost hear Grandpa Joe whispering, “I’ve heard tell that what you imagine sometimes comes true.”
The adorable Matilda set features mischievous Matilda atop her incredible book collection that “transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives… (as) she travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.” The Matilda bedding is styled bright pink, white and gray polka dot panels sure to peak and please every girl’s imagination. Finally the Roald Dahl Collection includes the notoriously naughty Enormous Crocodile in bold green with white spots!
With any of these fine selections, children and their parents will find the playfulness of childhood and understand what Roald Dahl himself believed “Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” Find the magic with the Roald Dahl Bedding Collection available from all the children at heart of Victoria Linen Company.

The Muppets return with a movie and some cushions!!!
The Muppets are soon to be relaunched upon an unsuspecting public over the coming months with an all star movie just around the corner. While the Muppets have had a presence over the years through Sesame Street and a series of (increasingly unsuccessful) movies nothing has compared to there 70’s/80’s heyday where Jim Henson creations wreaked havok in an old music hall over 5 series.
Nothing has been heard from Kermit and crew for a few years but this is all set to change on 12th february 2012 when The Muppets is released in the UK and USA. The film brings back all the old favourites from Fozzie the Bear to the chicken chasing Swedish Chef, Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) has scripted and stars along side Amy Adams (Enchanted) and a list of star cameos that includes Zach Galifianakis, Ricky Gervais, and Emily Blunt. With this in mind Disney has decided to launch some Muppet merchandise upon us in the shape of some character cushions. This initial run has all the Show’s favourites Piggy, Kermit, Fozzie and Animal, cushions come in standard 45 x 45cm sizes of as shaped heads which will look great in any childs (or grown ups) bedroom. The Muppets cushions are available online now and hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot more of these fuzzy friends over the coming months.
3 for 2 offer now available on all Sheets & Mattress Protectors
