Roald Dahl's tales of trickery, deceit and cunning . . .
Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
There's a whole world of Dahl still to discover in a newly
collected book of his deliciously dark tales for adults . . .
How underhand could you be to get what you want? In these ten tales
of dark and twisted trickery Roald Dahl reveals that we are at our
smartest and most cunning when we set out to deceive others - and,
sometimes, even ourselves.
