Synopses

Trickery

Ten dark, twisted tales explore deception in its many forms, asking how far people will go to get what they want. Dahl turns a sharp eye on the moments when cunning takes over, and when the urge to mislead can be directed at others or at ourselves.

War

Set against conflict and strife, this volume includes autobiographical stories from Dahl’s time as a fighter pilot in the Second World War, alongside seven further tales. It considers whether war brings out heroism or cowardice, and looks for the human element within an inhumane activity.

Fear

Fourteen classic, spine-chilling stories chosen by Dahl deliver ghostly goings-on and page-turning dread. Designed to unsettle, these tales lean into the pleasures of being scared.

Innocence

Autobiographical stories from Dahl’s boyhood and youth sit beside four additional tales of innocence betrayed. Together, they trace the joys and horrors of growing up, and the uneasy question of how innocence is lost.
