Taste and Other Tales, Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short-story writer, poet, screenwriter, and wartime fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.
All the stories in Taste and Other Tales have a wonderfully inventive story line and Roald Dahl’s trademark ‘twist in the tale’. The characters are all ordinary people on the surface, but have a dark and often cruel side to their nature. Tension is built up around the relationships between the various characters.
