Tales of the Unexpected (Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected #1) by Roald Dahl

A selection of short stories taken from Kiss Kiss and Someone Like You, which are all typical examples of Roald Dahl's outrageous, macabre, impeccably timed and bitterly funny creations.

Tales of the Unexpected includes, among others, the chastening tale of 'Mrs Bixby and the Colonel's Coat', an edifying reminder of 'The Way Up to Heaven', the perils of sticking your 'Neck' out, why 'William and Mary' saw eye to eye, and how Mrs Maloney led the 'Lamb to the Slaughter'.
