Overview
Take a pinch of unease. Stir in a dollop of the macabre and the outrageous and mix it with wit, skill and very black humour. What do you have? Roald Dahl at his brilliant, hypnotising best. Here in one volume, Tales of the Unexpectedand More Tales of the Unexpected- a darkly bitter souffle with a sting at the centre.
'Roald Dahl is in the O. Henry mode, firmly buttonholing the reader, not allowing him or her to escape until the often earthy anecdote has been concluded with a resounding full stop.'
Financial Times
'The writing is compelling and the twists in the tales are smoothly executed.'
