It was also adapted for television as part of Anglia Television's Tales of the Unexpected, broadcast on March 8, 1980.Here, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favorite authors, tells a bitter-sweet story about one man's love for artwork, and how that love leads him to confront a Faustian bargain when it is least expected.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 turned into hit films, and even today, Roald Dahl's stories continue to make millions of readers shiver with his brilliant prose.
