Fourteen terrifying ghost stories chosen by the master of the macabre, Roald Dahl. It should give you the creeps and disturb your thoughts. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults.
These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today. Charlie Bucket wins a factory tour and travels to the world's first space hotel, while a young boy has adventures with the six giant insects he meets inside a giant peach, and Mr. Fox's ingenuity saves all the digging animals from starvation. Roald Dahl is one of the world's best-loved authors.
More than twenty years after his death, his books are still highly popular with children and have inspired numerous feature films — yet he remains a controversial figure.
This volume, the first collection of academic essays ever to be devoted to Dahl's work, brings together a team of well-known scholars of children's literature to explore the man, his books for children, and his complex attitudes towards various key subjects.
Including essays on education, crime, Dahl's humour, his long-term collaboration with the artist Quentin Blake, and film adaptations, this fascinating collection offers a unique insight into the writer and his world.
RRP Throughout this book, you can delve into stories, poems, memoirs and letters galore all wonderfully illustrated by Quentin Blake as well as other well-known artists, including Raymond Briggs, Babette Cole, Posy Simmonds and Ralph Steadman. Loved each and every part of this book.
