Many of these stores are now so famous from film and television
adaptations that they need no introduction. Roald Dahl is well
known as a master of the macabre and the unexpected in the
tradition of Saki, and this volume does not disappoint. He began
his literary career by writing about his own experiences in the RAF
during World War II but soon developed this talent in a series of
short-story collections. He is perhaps even more celebrated as an
author of children's books, but the best of his short stories
represent a claim for him to be numbered among the most remarkable
story writers of the 20th century. The present volume includes for
the first time all the stories in chronological order as
established by Dahl's biographer, Jeremy Treglown, in consultation
with the Dahl estate.
