Did you know that the beloved children's author Roald Dahl also wrote adult fiction under a pseudonym? He used the name Uncle Oswald for his more mature stories, such as My Uncle Oswald and Switch Bitch. Another fun fact: J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, wrote her first novel on napkins while sitting in a cafe! The manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was scribbled down during her breaks as a struggling single mother. Moving on to classic literature, did you know that Charles Dickens published many of his novels in serial form? Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities were all originally released in installments over several months before being compiled into a full book. Lastly, Mark Twain, the author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, was born shortly after the appearance of Halley's Comet in 1835. He famously predicted that he would die when the comet returned, and he did indeed pass away in 1910, the day after Halley's Comet reappeared in the night sky.
