With thirteen of Roald Dahl’s most unexpected tales this is the perfect introduction to the master of short stories.
Is it really possible to invent a machine that does the job of a writer? What is it about the landlady’s house that makes it so hard for guests to leave? Does Sir Basil Turton value most his wife or one of his priceless sculptures?
The combination of compelling, ingenious, sometimes disturbing stories, with their dazzling wit and sheer originality, made Dahl’s books bestsellers with readers of all ages. Subtle and bizarre, ironic and amusing, macabre and often grotesque, in every sense these tales provide a superb first step into the unexpected world of Roald Dahl.
