具体描述
Before he was a world-renowned children's book writer, Roald Dahl was a master of short stories for adults. The thirteen tales collected here were specially selected for their appeal to teens, and they represent his finest work. By turns shocking, ironic, humorous, and touching, these stories are filled with bizarre twists and unexpected delights. This collection proves Roald Dahl's standing as one of the world's foremost storytellers.
"A baker's dozen of barbed, witty, obliquely macabre short stories... This sampler of Dahl's writing conveys a sense of his versatility." --Kirkus Reviews
