Best Of Roald Dahl (A) (Penguin Group)

Twenty wickedly anarchic tales from the master of the unpredictable, chosen from his bestsellers «Over to You», «Someone Like You», «Kiss Kiss» and «Switch Bitch». Stylish, outrageous and haunting, they explore the sinister side of the human psyche with unexpected outcomes. There's the wife who serves up a murderous new dish to her husband, the gambler who collects little fingers from losers, the sound machine that can hear the grass scream, and the night-time seduction that has macabre consequences, to name a few.
