Are you sure you've exhaused all of Mr. Dahl's works? There are lots and lots of short stories that he wrote that are collected and anthologized in a few different volumes. He's got lots of novels for young adults that aren't so well known. Have you read Danny the Champion of the World, for instance? That's one of my favorites. Or The BFG?

While there definitely are other wonderful children's authors, I've never seen anything quite like Roald Dahl's work. It really is uniquely wonderful--an amazing blend of fantasy, humor and horror, with really great character development as well. He was definitely a unique genius.
