Trickery | Roald Dahl
3 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
PERFECT for fans of Roald Dahl. Think you know Dahl? Think again. There's still a whole world of Dahl to discover in a newly collected book of his deliciously dark tales for adults . . . How underhand could you be to get what you want? In these ten tales of dark and twisted trickery Roald Dahl reveals that we are at our smartest and most cunning when we set out to deceive others - and, sometimes, even ourselves. Here, among others, you'll read of the married couple and the parting gift which rocks their marriage, the light fingered hitch-hiker and the grateful motorist, and discover why the serious poacher keeps a few sleeping pills in his arsenal. Featuring extraordinary cover art by Charming Baker, whose paintings echo the dark and twisted world of Dahl's short stories. Roald Dahl reveals even more about the darker side of human nature in seven other centenary editions: Lust, Madness, Cruelty, Deception, War, Innocence and Fear.

After my last book of Roald Dahl (Cruelty), I thought of reading the tagged book sometime this month. I left it on the side table, and the next thing I saw, my daughter has her nose in the book. Not too sure how she will take Dahl‘s grown up stories..🤔

marleed I didn‘t realize he wrote adult fiction. 4y

For #requiredreadingredo day 9, I used what is probably the most common method out there. Hiding the book I was reading inside the book I was supposed to be reading, and probably looking a bit like this to my teachers. 😂 @ErinSueG @WhiskeyMistress

Erinsuereads Yes! Glad I‘m not the only one! 6y

Incredible! My first ever time reading something by Roald Dahl for grownups but I shall definitely read much more now. I love short stories and these were just masterful, amazing, exactly the right combination of absurd and relatable. Amazing voice actors too particularly Stephen Mangan and Cillian Murphy

Aimeesue I can totally hear Mangan reading Dahl. 😂 6y
Emilymdxn @Aimeesue they‘ve got such good narrators for all of his short stories! I‘m excited to hear all of them 6y
