Five of Roald Dahl's most famous collections of short stories - many of which were used in the pop- ular television series Tales of the Unexpected, are collected here in one tantalizing volume. Also included is his highly acclaimed novel about the notorious rogue, My Uncle Oswald.
Demonstrating Dahl's own special brand of black humour, these stories deal with the strange and often bizarre fantasies of ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
