Ten Short Stories by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl is a favourite author among many children as well as adults. Most of us should relate his name to his most famous book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" which was made into a popular film. Roald has a style of writing that is simple and appealing, and yet you cannot help feeling that there is another message at another level. So while an innocent and wonderful is enjoyed as it is, there could be something else to read into.

Someone once said that there can be no other greater short story write than Roald Dahl. Of course, this is debatable but the statement goes to show his high standing among the community of short story writers.

The use of the word "unexpected" is quite common when readers are asked to describe Roald's short story endings. Many short story writers have such endings too but Roald can bring about such a twist that leaves the reader in total wonderment.

I have read this compilation of short stories many times over and still have a sense of excitement every time I pick it up.
