Things are not what they seem, they can't be what they seem, and yet with Roald Dahl, they are.

Turtles, fingersmiths, the Mildenhall's treasure, even a man who can see with his eyes closed : Roald Dahl turns his pen to anything, twisting everyday life into powerful, and sometimes terrifying, fantasies.

Roald Dahl writes in such a simple and elegant way that it's a pleasure to read out loud. It's all very forthright and factual sounding. This book includes two non-fiction pieces, or possibly three if you include the one about how he became a writer (in which he says the other two were his only non-fiction pieces).

I read these stories aloud to Colleen.
