The Cover to Cover exhibition was displayed in Federation Square throughout the writers festival. It tells us that over 200 million Dahl books have been published in 59 languages! Some of those covers are shown in Cover to Cover. I couldn't recognise some of the languages.

What a lovely exhibition Louise. And how exciting to have been at the MWF.
I wonder what Dahl would make of the all fuss this year? I think I'm taken aback. I really had no idea how popular he is around the world.
Great photos of this exhibition. I hope you had a great time at the festival.
Although I read the Charlie books as a child, my sister turned me on to Dahl's other writings as an adult. We both appreciate his humor. What a wonderful opportunity you see a celebration of him!
This is so cool!
I missed the festival this year, apart from taking some students on Thursday, to see John Marsden. I didn't find anything at six o'clock to interest me except David Levithan and I was just too tired to haul myself to Melbourne Uni after a long day at work. Oh, well, next year. We did browse among the Roald Dahl posters.
A writer's festival! How wonderful! Great that you got to go. And the Roald Dahl exhibit also looks wonderful - loved seeing some of the covers you included here. Thanks for sharing!

I've never been to a writer's festival, but I'd love to attend one. I haven't read Roald Dahl in a long long time, but Matilda was one of my all time favourites when I was younger.
Thanks for sharing!
