Danny, the Champion of the World is a 1975 children's book by Roald Dahl. The plot centers on a young English boy named Danny and his father, William, who live in a Gypsy caravan fixing cars for a living and partake in poaching pheasants. It is one of Dahl's novels that is not based on a fantastical premise and tends to be considered one of his stories grounded more in reality.
