A'''''Danny, the Champion of the World''''' is a 1975 [[Roald Dahl]] book about Danny, a [[Missing Mom|half-orphan]] living with his father, a man with a certain fondness for poaching pheasants, in a caravan next to his father's petrol station/garage on a rather desirable plot in the [[Arcadia|English countryside]]. Mr. Hazell, the rich land-owner from whose land pheasants are poached, is less than amused by this hobby and attempts to thwart Danny's efforts.
 
Danny, however, comes up with a plan {{spoiler|to poach all of the pheasants just before the big shoot Mr. Hazell has organised, thereby becoming the pheasant-poaching champion of the world}}. All very sweet and lovely, unless you're a pheasant. (Though even then, it has to beat the fate Hazell had in mind for them....)
