The book is dedicated to Dahl's late daughter, Olivia, who died of measles encephalitis at the age of seven in 1962.[1] As of 2009, the novel has sold 37 million copies in UK editions alone, with more than 1 million copies sold around the world every year.[2] After Sophie teaches the BFG how to read and write proper English, he writes a book of their adventures identified as the novel itself—under the name "Roald Dahl". The BFG has won numerous awards including the 1985 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis as the year's best children's book, in its German translation Sophiechen und der Riese[5] and the 1991 Read Alone and Read Aloud BILBY Awards.[6] A TV series based on The BFG is being developed as part of Netflix's "animated series event", based on Roald Dahl's books.[26]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6621.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6621.txt
