Product Description
Book Description
Fully illustrated, beautiful hardback edition of Roald Dahl's complete work. The present volume includes, for the first time, all the stories in chronological order as established by Dahl's biographer, Jeremy Treglown, in consultation with the Dahl estate.
Product Description
Many of these stores are now so famous from film and television adaptations that they need no introduction. Roald Dahl is well known as a master of the macabre and the unexpected in the tradition of Saki, and this volume does not disappoint.
He began his literary career by writing about his own experiences in the RAF during World War II but soon developed this talent in a series of short-story collections. He is perhaps even more celebrated as an author of children's books, but the best of his short stories represent a claim for him to be numbered among the most remarkable story writers of the 20th century.
The present volume includes for the first time all the stories in chronological order as established by Dahl's biographer, Jeremy Treglown, in consultation with the Dahl estate.

This is the first complete collection of Roald Dahl's (adult) short stories. They have been arranged in chronological order by his biographer, Jeremy Treglown, who was also Dahl's biographer:
Roald Dahl: A Life: A Biography
As with all Everyman collection books, the books is a pleasure to read (in terms of the quality of the paper, etc.).
Dahl's short stories are hilariously funny and it is a shame he is not better known for them - he is overshadowed by his children's work. I can highly recommend this book.
