These thirteen tales grab you from the start, hold you fast--and then throw all your expectations out the window with surprise-twist endings that are immensely satisfying. Before Roald Dahl became a master of stories for children, he was a master of adult short stories. His several popular anthologies showcase his skills as an ingenious sleight-of-hand artist. Wendy Cooling specially selected the stories in this collection as an introduction for teenagers to the adult writing of one of the world's greatest storytellers. By turns macabre, hilarious, and grotesque, these stories are filled with unexpected delights and the always expected Dahl brilliance.
