Description: In these diabolical stories--seasoned with international flavour and served with deadly, deadpan humour, Roald Dahl cooks up wildly improbable plots, peopled with themes unique and unlikely characters in all fiction.

At first taste, his tales seem as normal as apple pie. It is only at the very end, when the last morsel has been savored and swallowed, that, like a final twist of lemon, Mr. Dahl makes known his stinging, acid bite.
