Roald Dahl Collected Stories (Everyman’s Library Contemporary Classics)

I am a big Roald Dahl fan but I was surprised to find that this edition does not, in fact, include all of his short stories despite this book's description stating that "the present volume includes for the first time all the stories in chronological order". This was a disappointment.Missing short stories include:- Lucky Break- The Boy Who Talked with Animals- Princess Mammalia- Mildenhall Treasure- Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (ancestor of Alan Sugar?)- The Swan- The Princess & The Poacher

I bought this particular edition many years ago, as a school student. Sadly, time took its toll on that particular copy. After recently watching Matilda on TV, I was remindedof Dahl's literary and creative genius and decided to re-acquire this volume. The book itself, is an Everyman library edition, very well bound and printed and a pleasure to read. This has ALL of Dahl's work for adults. A copy worth adding to one's collection, whether you are a Dahl fan or simply a lover of great literature well presented. Five stars all the way.

Although interesting reading the book arrived in an abominable state. A lot of pages were crumbled. Luckily I still have a very old book-press, but the overall result is not very neat. Taking into consideration that the two former books I ordered also arrived damaged, I will not order any books any more. A shame!

An excellent, comprehensive collection of tales from the master of short story telling.

The book was despatched quickly, well packed. I can make no further comment as it was a present for a friend and I hope he was pleased! Thanks.

Good collection of stories, presented in a nice form.

I’ve only read a few so far, but the quality is excellent. Truly a master of his craft.

Weather you like Dahl or not is a matter of preferences. I love to read a story now and then. This is technically a quality edition: well printed and bound.
