Critic reviews

From Roald Dahl, the master of the sting in the tail, a newly collected book of his darkest stories

One of the most widely read and influential writers

The absolute master of the twist in the tale

Great stories brilliantly read

I knew all these stories already, but they are so well read by this fabulous collection of actors that they came alive in a brand new way. Highly recommended
